About us
Just like in the old vaudevillian days, quality of life MUST BE GOOD to play in Peoria. The oldest community in Illinois with a population of 112,936, Peoria is equal distance from Chicago and St. Louis. Here we have an enviable standard of living, exciting venues within a 15-20 minute drive from our homes, safe streets, quality and quantity shopping, our own symphony, our own ballet, Broadway Theater League, museums, art guilds, first-class medical facilities that are a regional draw, the Nation’s oldest community theater and the Nation’s oldest Santa Claus parade. Our vibrant riverfront showcases a multitude of festivals and celebrations that light up the summer nights much like our extraordinary Fourth of July Skyconcert….a fireworks show that draws well over 100,000 annually. Citizens are flocking to live in the refurbished warehouses and lofts on Water Street that produce the perfect lifestyle for a 24/7 city. Naturally, we are proud to be the site of the world headquarters of Caterpillar, Inc., but we have many global businesses that allow Peoria to play all over the World through their products and services. Peoria has begun to diversify its economy with infotech industries as well. Thus our business community attracts some of the brightest graduates throughout the nation. This three-time All American City has the heart that is so well known in the Midwest. While we enjoy a variety of sophisticated entertainment, we are still homey enough to enjoy a tractor pull at the County fair, and many citizens vie for blue ribbons for their original cookie recipe or their prize bull during that competition. Peoria derives its name from the aboriginal inhabitants encountered by the first wave of French explorers. We are a City that cares, home to many charity agencies and organizations. Peoria is well known for giving more per capita than many cities of its size. We are the Heart in the Heart of the Nation.

The Peoria IL Fire Department held its annual Fallen Firefighter Memorial program on Thursday to honor the firefighters who lost their lives serving their community. Before the ceremony's end, Battalion Chief Tom Stimeling addressed those we have lost: "Your bravery will not be forgotten. Your spirit will live on in the hearts of those who continue the work you so honorably began. We will carry your memory with us, and may your legacy inspire future generations of firefighters to serve with the same courage and dedication that you showed." Also speaking at the event were Chief Shawn Sollberger and Fire Captain and Local 50 President Kyle Field.

October is National Arts & Humanities Month, and we would like to celebrate by showcasing some of the wonderful artwork on display in the Mayor’s Suite. We’ll start with Peoria photographer Gwen Bateman’s “Murray Baker Bridge Lights Up Our Hearts.” Bateman said: “Living on the river is especially fascinating. There is always something beautiful, exciting, or interesting that is a ‘must’ to share with others. I have been able to share these things through exhibitions in Peoria and East Peoria, publications, programs for groups, and even Facebook.” Read more at https://lnkd.in/gGqEB7J4
