Description

Peoria was first referred to in old history books as "Warrensville", after an early settler named James L. Warren, but the first log cabin built in Peoria was by a man named Bukley. The town was platted by Theodric Spain, George Westlake, and Sanfred Haines on May 21, 1853. Today, Peoria is home to between 80 and 100 people. This is a town map of Peoria as it appeared in 1913.
