Batavia is a city with a strong tradition of progressive industrial, commercial and retail development.

About us

Originally established in 1833, the City of Batavia Illinois is located 35 miles west of Chicago on the banks of the Fox River. This location served industries with water and power that drove production at several of the world’s leading windmill manufacturers. These days, leading manufacturers, distributors and retailers such as Suncast Corporation, Barco Products, Flagsource, VWR, Aldi Corporation and Chicago Expert Importers have their headquarters or central offices in Batavia. The city is ideally located on major state and county highways offering access to interstate highways in minutes. On Batavia’s eastern edge sits Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, a world-leading scientific research facility specializing in particle physics. On its western side sits some of the most valuable and productive agricultural and development property in the world. The Fox River flows through the heart of downtown, providing natural beauty and recreation along its banks. It is this combination of history, progress and technology that makes Batavia a unique place to do business.

    It was a beautiful day for the dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony of the new Batavia Peace Pedestrian Ramp, which connects the east side of the Peace Bridge to the Fox River Trail. The ramp, a collaborative project between the Batavia Park District and the City of Batavia, will also feature a new Peace Out Batavia mural, scheduled to be installed this fall. Batavia Mayor Jeff Schielke, Batavia City Administrator Laura Newman, V3 Vice President of Municipal Services Kurt Corrigan, Batavia Park Board President John Tilmon, and Batavia Park District Executive Director Allison Niemela all gave remarks. Schielke and Newman discussed the history of the Peace Bridge area and the importance of this new piece of infrastructure.
