Peoria, IL, named after the Peoria tribe, is one of the oldest settlements in Illinois, the largest city on the Illinois river, and as of the 2000 Census, was the fifth largest city in Illinois, with a population of about 112,936 people. It is also the county seat of Peoria County. Peoria has become famous as a representation of the average American city because of its demographics and Midwestern culture. "Will it play in Peoria?" has now become a metaphor for whether something appeals to the American mainstream public. Peoria is the world headquarters for the famous Caterpillar company, and currently, medicine has become a major part of Peoria's economy. In addition to three major hospitals, the USDA's National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research, is located in Peoria, and was where the mass production of penicillin was first developed.

Grandview Drive
The most beautiful drive in America.

Grandview Drive, which Theodore Roosevelt called the "world's most beautiful drive" during a 1910 visit, runs through Peoria and Peoria Heights.

Peoria and Penicillin

A moldy cantaloupe in a Peoria, Illinois market in 1943 was found to contain the best and highest-quality penicillin after a worldwide search. The discovery of the cantaloupe, and the results of fermentation research on corn steep liquor at the Northern Regional Research Laboratory at Peoria, Illinois, allowed the United States to produce 2.3 million doses in time for the invasion of Normandy in the spring of 1944.

Richard Pryor

If you're from Peoria, you know that Richard Pryor was born here and grew up here. Richard Pryor is listed as number one on Comedy Central's list of all-time greatest stand-up comedians, and Jerry Seinfeld has called him "The Picasso of our profession." Richard Pryor was also outspoken on the issue of animal rights, and he was deeply concerned about the plight of elephants in circuses and zoos. The animal rights organization, PETA, gives out an award in Pryor's name to people who have done outstanding work to alleviate animal suffering. Richard Pryor was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1986, and he died of cardiac arrest on December 10, 2005. There is a street just west of downtown Peoria named in his honor.
