About BATAVIA, IL
Today, Batavia remains the home of over 200 varied manufacturing, research and warehousing firms as well as proudly serving as hometown for the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, world-renown center for high energy physics research, and Mooseheart, the international ‘child-city’ of the Moose Lodge.
The real strengths of our town are found in the community commitment to its institutions and its quality of life. The Batavia School District is ranked as one of the most educationally advanced systems in the State of Illinois and city’s long-standing record of support towards quality education for our children is a legend of envy and admiration throughout the Fox River Valley. Batavia’s new modern spacious library facility and its expanding park system also speak towards our dreams of the future.
Batavia is a town of traditions. Christmas Tree Lane throughout downtown during December, the annual 4th of July Fireworks Show, the Windmill City Festival of mid-July, or the annual Brotherhood Banquet calling together men from all churches for a night of unified fellowship are testimony of our love of tradition.
Batavia has become a place where many people have found that they want to live. Population figures truly tell the story as Batavia grew from a population of 7,496 in 1960 to a census count of 23,866 in 2000.
