Bloomington HotelsPrior to the 1820's, the area of today's Bloomington was at the edge of a large grove enjoyed by the Kickapoo people before the first Euro-American settlers arrived in the early 1820's. In a decade there were few roads, but rich soils brought new farmers who began commerce by conducting their business in the newly formed county. People came from all over to trade and do business at the town's center, known today as Downtown Bloomington, including Abraham Lincoln who was working as a lawyer in nearby Springfield. Bloomington is located in one of the most productive agricultural areas in the nation. In addition to the major manufacturers and industries, there are two universities (Illinois State University in Normal and Illinois Wesleyan in Bloomington), two hospitals (BroMenn in Normal and St. Joseph's in Bloomington), a convention center at the McLean County Fairgrounds, an indoor mall (Eastland Mall in Bloomington)and an outdoor mall. The largest employers located in the Bloomington-Normal area are: State Farm Insurance, Country Insurance and Financial Services, Mitsubishi motor manufacturing, BroMenn Healthcare and Anderson Financial Network, Inc.
