Champaign County • Illinois Local Ads
Champaign was incorporated in 1866
Champaign was founded in 1855. Originally called “West Urbana”, it was renamed Champaign when it acquired a city charter in 1860. Both the city and county name were derived from Champaign County, Ohio.
Champaign is notable for sharing the flagship campus of the University of Illinois with its sister city of Urbana, the county seat. Champaign is also home to Parkland College, which serves about 18,000 students during the academic year.
Due to the university and a number of well-known technology startup companies, it is often referred to as the hub, or a significant landmark, of the Silicon Prairie.
Champaign houses offices for the Fortune 500 companies Abbott, Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Caterpillar, John Deere, Dow Chemical Company, IBM, and State Farm.
Joan Severns was the city’s first female Mayor, serving between 1979 and 1983. Deb Frank Feinen, who has served as Mayor since 2015, is the city’s second female Mayor. In May 2017, the city’s first female-majority city council was sworn in.
Champaign is a growing Illinois community with affordable housing and plenty of available retail space for new businesses. As an Illinois culturally-sensitive business-friendly community, Champaign welcomes new residents, technology businesses and new value-added service businesses to the city.
The City of Champaign is in a fast growing area for businesses. In the spirit of enterprising early settlers, Champaign is an ideal Illinois location where local individual creativity can thrive and where self-starter entrepreneurs can start their own dream business online or offline.
