As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 112,936. The Peoria Metropolitan Statistical Area had a population of 369,161 in 2005. Peoria has become famous as a representation of the average American city because of its demographics and its perceived mainstream Midwestern culture. On the Vaudeville circuit, it was said that if an act would succeed in Peoria, it would work anywhere. The question "Will it play in Peoria?" has now become a metaphor for whether something appeals to the American mainstream public, and Peoria is often used as a test market for new products, services, and public policy polling. Peoria is also headquarters for Caterpillar Inc., one of the 30 companies composing the Dow Jones Industrial Average. read full wikipedia reference about Peoria, Illinois OTHER POPULAR DESTINATIONS IN ILLINOISAlton Arlington Heights Aurora Bloomington Bolingbrook Carbondale Champaign Chicago Collinsville Crystal Lake Danville Decatur Deerfield Dekalb Des Plaines Effingham Elgin Elk Grove Village Elmhurst Fairview Heights Freeport Galesburg Gurnee Hoffman Estates Jacksonville Joliet Lansing Libertyville Lincolnshire Lombard Macomb Marion Metropolis Moline Mount Vernon Naperville Normal Northbrook O'Fallon Oakbrook Ottawa Peoria Peru Quincy Rockford Rosemont Schaumburg Schiller Park Skokie Springfield St. Charles Sycamore Tinley Park Urbana Waukegan |
