Peoria is the largest city situated on the Illinois River, and is the county seat of Peoria County, Illinois. The city is the sixth largest in the state, with a population just eclipsing 112,000 residents. The city has become famous for being the average American city, and many companies use Peoria residents as test markets for new products. The phrase “Will it work in Peoria?” has become synonymous with the idea that if something will sell in Peoria, it will sell anywhere.
The city is one of the oldest settled areas in Illinois, much older than Chicago, to be sure, and was originally founded by French trappers in 1680 that were looking for a new area to trap and sell furs. A trading post was setup and in 1813 Fort Clark was built where the trading post once was. In 1825, when the county of Peoria was organized, the city was renamed Peoria and was stationed as the county seat. The city has not endured too many hardships, and was one of the least affected cities of both the Civil War and the Great Depression, leading it to be considered an “average town.”
The city lies in a humid tropical climate, like most of the rest of the state of Illinois, and as such has hot summers and cooler winters. Temperatures in the summer typically reach around 84 degrees, while the average low is around 60 degrees. During the winter, however, snowfall is common and winter highs rarely peak above 40 degrees, with average lows well below freezing.
