The Oatmeal Capital of the World

Cedar Rapids, Iowa has been the home of the Quaker Oats Company since 1873, making it the oatmeal capital of the world. On certain days, depending on the wind, the entire city smells faintly of warm oatmeal. The facility in Cedar Rapids is one of the largest cereal mills in the world and processes millions of pounds of oats daily. The company's distinctive round canister, designed in 1915, became one of the most recognized pieces of packaging in American grocery history.
