About El Paso, Illinois

El Paso is a great place to live and work. The city boasts many amenities of a much larger town, but still has a small-town feel. El Paso sits at a crossroads of Illinois Routes 251 and 24 with Interstate 39 at the edge of town. The location enables quick access to and from the Bloomington-Normal and Peoria metropolitan areas.

The city has eight churches of various denominations, a great school system, and a wonderful city parks system that includes: four city parks, a walking trail, fishing pond, athletic fields, 9-hole disc golf course, tennis courts, public pool, and much more.

The annual Corn Festival, the weekend after Labor Day, highlights the agricultural background of the community, its businesses, and most all the great citizens that make up this friendly city.
