This riveting city, built along the Fox River, traces its roots back to the early 1800's, an era when it was home to several Native American communities and street- cars ran underground.
Today however, this cosmopolitan, ultramodern and culturally rich city is undeniably one of the best places to live and raise a family in America.
St Charles boasts some of the best entertainment spots in the state, or even the nation-- for instance, the Arcada Theatre, famous for high-profile events that take place here all year round. This spot is especially prized among locals and tourists. The Last Frontier was the first movie to be screened in the close to 1000-seat auditorium. Actors such as Jerry Lewis and Martin Short among others, have performed in this century-old architectural master piece.
But, if theatre is not your thing, you will be spoiled for choice in the many hotels, restaurants and eateries dotting the streets of St Charles' downtown. The area has been ranked as one of the "Top Ten Best Places to Wine and Dine in America."
If you don't like the food that much either (which is rare, especially in this town) the vibrant St. Charles nightlife will knock you out and if that doesn't do it, you can shop 'til you drop in the many shopping malls, where you can buy almost anything anytime, day or night. Treasure seekers will find St. Charles irresistible because of its many stylish antique shops where you can buy gifts and keepsakes.
Activities along the Fox River include canoeing, kayaking, water skiing and other exhilarating water sports. Add to that the famed Scare Crow Festival and the Fox River Fest, and you have something fun to do for every day of the year while in the city of St. Charles.
