Known historically for manufacturing and river commerce, the city has evolved into a blend of industry, healthcare, education, and outdoor recreation.</p> <p>Peoria is perhaps best recognized as the longtime global headquarters of Caterpillar Inc., which shaped much of the city’s economic and engineering identity. That legacy still shows today through a strong presence of technical professionals, healthcare workers, and skilled trades.</p>
