Community Information:

Mendota, Illinois

• With a population of 7,000 people, Mendota is located on Interstate 39, about 15 miles north of Interstate 80, which connects the East and West coasts of the United States. It’s also home to an Amtrak station and less than a 90-minute highway drive to Chicago, Peoria, Rockford and the Quad Cities.
• Roughly 50 tons of delicious, hot, buttered sweet corn (all free!) get consumed on one weekend at their annual Sweet Corn Festival, but there’s so much more to Mendota. It’s a place that boasts small-town living, the best of the great outdoors and close proximity to big-city amenities.
• Nearby state parks and recreation areas in LaSalle County offer ample opportunities to enjoy horseback riding, zip-lining, rafting and Skydive Chicago, the world’s largest skydiving resort. Thriving arts and entertainment communities, strong public and private school systems and a high quality of life with a lower cost of living are among the benefits in the World’s Greatest Little City.
