About Peoria

Our Journey Begins: 2010

Welcome to Peoria, your trusted news portal dedicated to shedding light on the vibrant city of Peoria and its surrounding areas. Founded in 2010, our mission is to empower the community with accurate, unbiased, and engaging local information. Over the years, we've grown from a small team of enthusiasts to a thriving online publication, becoming an integral part of Peoria's digital landscape.

A Gap in Local News Coverage

The idea for Peoria emerged from a recognized need for a comprehensive, up-to-date news source that truly represented the spirit of our city. We noticed a gap in the market for a website that not only reported local events but also delved into the unique stories and voices that make Peoria such a special place. With a passion for community engagement and a commitment to quality journalism, we set out to fill this void.
