Joliet Hotels

The city of Joliet, IL is located 40 miles southwest of Chicago. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 106,221. Joliet is currently the fastest growing city in the Midwest and the 10th fastest growing city in the United States. One of Joliet's nicknames is the "City of Champions" due to its historical high school football results.

First settled as a town in 1834 and originally bore the name Juliet (supposedly in honor of settler James B. Campbell's daughter). Other possible sources of the name include the Shakespearean character (the nearby village of Romeoville was named as a companion. The name was eventually changed to Joliet and the city was incorporated in 1852.

Joliet's proximity to the Chicago metropolitan area has provided some aid to relieve its economic state; the city is increasingly evolving from its status as a steel-town to an exurb. The main attractions in Joliet's City Center are the Harrah's Casino and Hotel, Joliet Jackhammers baseball (Silver Cross Field), and the Rialto Theatre, the 'Jewel of Joliet', which has been called one of the world's 10 most beautiful theatres. There are also many stores, restaurants, and shops, including the Westfield Louis Joliet mall located on Rt.30. A fun thing to know is that mispronunciation of the city's name as 'Jolly-ETTE' will incur a $5 fine.

The City of Champions welcomes new visitors and people searching for a new life start (since most new migrants to the area are moving to Joliet to live, choosing to work in bordering Cook and DuPage counties, and the downtown area that's on its way to a total revitalization).
