Peoria, Illinois is a city of 100,000 people. It’s located in central Illinois and is the county seat of Peoria County.
Founded by John Woodbridge in 1825 as a trading post with Indians and later becoming a site for the Illinois-Michigan Canal, Peoria has become an important transportation hub for railroads and highways connecting Chicago with St. Louis and Missouri River ports on the Mississippi River.
The city also boasts one of the largest collections of historic architecture in Illinois from all eras including buildings from its earliest days as a frontier outpost through today’s modern skyline which includes several skyscrapers plus many smaller buildings that exemplify various styles.
These range from Art Deco through Victorian Gothic Revival architecture – most famously known as “Peoria Pink” due to its distinctive color used on many downtown buildings.”
