Three time
winner of the prestigious All America City Award, Peoria is a city that
will charm you with its hospitality, and believes in treating its vistors like
guests. First-time visitors will be startled to see a full-fledged city,
complete with towering, gleaming buildings, rising from the fertile lands that
stretch from the banks of the Illinois River.
Peoria is
the oldest civilized settlement in the state of Illinois. The city and
county take their names from the Peorian Indians, one of the tribes who
inhabited the Illinois River Valley. The name "Peoria" has been translated to
mean "Prairie Fire that Wanders About".
The Peoria
area has continued to prosper and grow since its early beginnings. The
natural riches that lured Indians and pioneers here contributed greatly to the
later development of industry. Today the Peoria area is an
industrial/agricultural community that takes pride in its historic past and
progressive future.
