Relocation Information
Welcome to Edwardsville
and Glen Carbon!
 Edwardsville and Glen Carbon represent all
the best of Southwestern Illinois living.
These twin towns are perched in an ideal
geographic location that allows them to
simultaneously tap into all the amenities of
an urban existence while still maintaining a
predominantly small-town identity at their
cores. And although Edwardsville and Glen
Carbon are equally steeped in vibrant
histories — Edwardsville is actually the
third-oldest city in the state of Illinois —
they are not slowly diminishing roadside
attractions. Instead, these communities are
thriving centers of population growth and
economic development. They are also
fundamentally sound places in which to raise
a family, offering the best in public
education, a diverse spectrum of higher education opportunities, and a wealth of
quality health care options.
 Bolstered by the presence of Southern
Illinois University Edwardsville and the
light of St. Louis arts and entertainment
arcing across the river, these two
communities provide residents and visitors
alike with a vast web of recreational,
dining and shopping possibilities. New
residents are comforted by the quality and
abundance of health care, transportation,
libraries, child care, housing and
government services. Furthermore, the
remarkable successes of the Unit 7 School
District, which serves both communities, are
well known across the state. Area schools
maintain the trifecta needed for an
outstanding education: high academic
achievement, exceptional fine arts programs
and highly competitive athletic teams.
