THE CHANGING SEASONS IN WEST PEORIA

..................................................................................................................................................................

Welcome to West Peoria, Illinois!

The City of West Peoria is a small community in Central Illinois with a neighborhood feel.

Incorporated in 1993, it is a great place to start a business or raise a family. Located just

minutes from downtown Peoria, but away from the hustle and bustle of city life, West Peoria

is ideally located. We are centrally positioned in a major metropolitan area with easy access to

transportation centers, cultural amenities, medical facilities, and quality education; yet we are

set back enough to preserve our small-town charm and grace. West Peoria is a place where families

have lived for generations, nurturing a strong commitment to each other, their community, and to the

volunteers and civic groups that make this town unique. Sandwiched between two golf courses,

we are a place of quiet beauty that is rooted in a grand past! Our old neighborhoods reflect West Peoria's

architectural charms while maintaining our outstanding residential affordability. We are dedicated to

promoting the growth of our stable and inviting civic and business climates to guarantee a prosperous future!
