A city is more than just the bricks and mortar that make up its buildings and the asphalt and concrete which form its roads. Its people make Naperville a unique place to live and work: People whose ancestors helped build the village from its beginnings as a farm and quarry town to the modern, thriving city of more than 139,000 people who call it home today…people whose parents settled here in the years after World War II looking for small-town charm and solid values in which to raise their children, and who started businesses to support them…people who relocated five, 10, or 20 years ago, seeking a home in a city that celebrates its past while stepping proudly into its future. They embody the spirit and heart of Naperville. Their voices speak of a common vision – a vision for a city that works.
If you take a moment, you’ll find that Naperville is a city that works. Travel its tree-lined streets, or walk through the downtown riverfront park. Visit its award-winning schools, libraries and parks or listen in on a lively council meeting at city hall. Spend time at its living history and children’s museums or attend a community play or concert.
Explore the city’s unique specialty shops or take a class at a local college. Get to know area entrepreneurs at a Chamber Business After Hours gathering or make new friends at one of the city’s seasonal festivals. It doesn’t take long to see that Naperville is a great place to live, work and play.
