Romeoville shares the nickname “Stone City” with Joliet, as its early years in quarry mining brought prosperity to the small village on Des Plaines River’s western shores. Illinois’ State Capitol Building still reflects the beige hues of Romeoville limestone. By the 1950s, the village had traded its quarries for suburbs and continued to grow upon the arrival of Interstate 55. Today, a steady-growing residential landscape, varying recreational opportunities and well-ranked school districts characterize the village of 41,000.
