Peoria

The Illinois River defines the setting of Peoria — the city rises from its broad central Illinois valley, and its waterfront remains a focus for recreation, festivals and river traffic. Downtown’s riverfront connects with a compact civic core, while wooded bluffs and residential districts climb away from the water. The Peoria Riverfront Museum presents art, science and local-history exhibitions, and its Dome Planetarium is a major cultural venue. Peoria has also long been associated with Caterpillar, whose presence helped shape the city’s industrial identity.
