A Digital Digest & A Look At Location

5w w w. E d G l E n C h a m b E r . C o m

an EnviablE loCaTion

location has always been one of the greatest assets shared by Edwardsville and Glen Carbon. From highways and railroads to waterways and airports, both communities are situated in the intensely beating heart of mid-America’s transportation infrastructure. Take their precise geographic positioning: Situated almost exactly on the 90th meridian, Edwardsville and Glen

Carbon are part of a five-county region in Illinois commonly referred to as the Metro East, which describes their orientation within the greater St. Louis area.

aiRWith downtown St. Louis just minutes away, residents of Edwardsville and Glen Carbon enjoy

easy access to Lambert-St. Louis International Airport (www.flystl.com), with daily service to all major airports and many regional airports provided by American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta, Frontier, Northwest, Southwest, United and U.S. Airways. Residents also have access to three regional airports.

RoadA strong highway system connects cities across the United States. Residents here are only a few

miles away from cross-country interstates I-44, I-55, I-64 and I-70, as well as I-255 and I-270, which provide a bypass loop around St. Louis County and the Metro East. From a nostalgic perspective, two of the nation’s most recognized two-lane highways run through the area. Historic Route 66 runs right through downtown Edwardsville, while Route 50, the nation’s only coast-to-coast two-lane highway, skirts the southern extremities of Madison County.

Statewide infrastructure initiatives have improved the major highways through Edwardsville and Glen Carbon. Highways 159 and 157, the main arteries in both communities, have been widened and expanded, and phase two of the cross-city thoroughfare, Governors Parkway, is complete, giving residents a quick route across town.

mass tRansitPublic transportation is an increasingly viable option in the region.

Madison County Transit • (www.mct.org) offers award-winning bus service throughout Edwardsville and Glen Carbon, Madison County, and the St. Louis area. Buses connect riders to points within the two communities, to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, to transporta-tion hubs around the county and to MetroLink for access to many popular St. Louis destinations. Metro• (www.metrostlouis.org) offers MetroBus and MetroLink light rail transportation to destina-tions throughout St. Louis, including Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, and a MetroLink station is only 20 minutes away. Interstate rail travel is easily accessed through a nearby • Amtrak station (www.amtrak.com) in Alton, IL, with daily service to St. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City, Dallas and San Antonio.

EdwaRdsvillE

Although there is some debate about exact dates, Edwardsville is generally acknowledged as the third-oldest city in Illinois. Due in part to a thriving Native American population in the area, including the nearby Cahokia settlement, some of the first European settlers to forge across the Illinois prairies halted in this region. In 1805, South Carolina native Thomas Kirkpatrick constructed a two-room cabin on a bluff overlooking Cahokia Creek. His family homestead, which would have been located on the northern side of Edwardsville today, prospered from the beginning, and word of the family’s good fortunes quickly spread back east.

By 1809 more settlers joined the Kirkpatricks, forming a small village. Edwardsville was forever changed by the arrival of Benjamin Stephenson and Ninian Edwards from Kentucky. Edwards was appointed governor of the newly formed Illinois Territory in 1809, and served as governor of the state of Illinois from 1826 to 1830. During the War of 1812, Stephenson, already an appointed sheriff, achieved the rank of colonel. After the war, Col. Stephenson served as a congressional representative for the Illinois Territory from 1816 to 1818.

Perhaps the most lasting impression Stephenson made upon the area was architectural. Both Stephenson and Edwards erected stately Federal brick homes in a portion of town referred to as Upper Edwardsville. Miraculously, thanks to ambitious restoration efforts, Col. Benjamin Stephenson’s house still stands today. The most significant legacy Edwards bestowed upon the local area was his name. In 1812, Edwards named the Kirkpatrick cabin as the seat of justice for newly created Madison County. In return, in 1813, Kirkpatrick named the young town Edwardsville.

In the decades leading up to the Civil War, Edwardsville, the “Land of Goshen,” continued to grow. The town served as the western end of a significant road that cut across the state from Madison County to Shawneetown on the Ohio River, creating a vital artery for population growth. By the time the Civil War ended, Edwardsville was a thriving town of nearly 2,000, featuring everything from a courthouse and a local news-paper (The Intelligencer) to beer breweries and a steam furniture factory.

Around 1890, industrialist N.O. Nelson, inspired by new economic philosophies of profit sharing, built a modern manufacturing facility, complete with a selection of modest, yet attractive, new homes for his employees. He named the project “Leclaire” after a French profit-sharing pioneer. The 150 acres sat just southeast of Edwardsville’s center. His fac-tory, which made plumbing fixtures, was a model of efficiency highlighted by exemplary working conditions.

Edwardsville’s good fortunes continued into the 20th century. The Edwardsville Chamber of Commerce, an advocacy group for local busi-ness, was founded in 1923. The country’s most revered highway, Route 66, blazed its way from Chicago to Los Angeles right through the heart of Edwardsville. The area was growing, and new businesses and industries were demanding employees with a college education. In 1955, a group of concerned parents and business leaders from the Chamber of Commerce began a campaign to establish a public university in the Metro East. In 1957, Southern Illinois University opened two residence centers in Alton and East St. Louis. Groundbreaking for SIU Edwardsville was held in 1963, and classes began on the new SIUE campus in 1965.

glEn caRbonLiterally translated, Glen Carbon means “Valley of Coal,” and Glen

Carbon’s history is inseparably linked with this black gold.Glen Carbon was actually home to settlers of European descent before

Edwardsville. In 1801, Col. Samuel Judy, of Swiss lineage, became the first permanent resident of Madison County after receiving a military grant of 100 acres near the base of the bluffs. However, throughout most of the century the area remained predominantly rural. After the Civil War, coal mining became a serious indus trial venture in southwestern Illinois, and Glen Carbon was positioned on top of vast coal reserves. The Madison Coal Corporation operated two coal mines and a coal-washing facility south of Edwardsville, which drew an increasing population into these hills. In 1892, 76 residents petitioned the county court, and the Village of Glen Carbon was officially incorporated.

Coal mining was the economic bedrock for Glen Carbon, but brick production, which came to the community around the turn of the cen-tury, also played a significant role. The Saint Louis Press Brick Company produced all the bricks used in constructing facilities for the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis. Along with the Madison Coal Corporation, the brick company participated in building company houses. These diminutive “saltbox” homes were once common in Glen Carbon, and some still stand along Main Street.

While Glen Carbon owes its municipal origins to coal mining and its cultural origins to working people of Eastern European descent, it owes much of its current success to the opening of the SIU Edwardsville campus. By 1980, Glen Carbon’s population exploded, ballooning 174 percent. Glen Carbon still honors its coal mining heritage, with statues and parks standing throughout the town as dignified reminders.

The Village of Glen Carbon established the Glen Carbon Business Advisory Board in July 2011 to encourage ideas and suggestions

to maintain and improve the local business environment. The Business Advisory Board is comprised of members who own or manage businesses in Glen Carbon. The purpose of the volunteer board is for local business owners to study issues that affect Glen Carbon busi-nesses and provide independent and objec-tive advisory suggestions. The board’s functions include reviewing issues presented by the mayor and Village Board, making independent recom-mendations to the Village Board and mayor on issues concerning Glen Carbon residents and businesses, and scheduling forums on topics of interest to residents and businesses of the vil-lage. For example, the Business Advisory Board could provide its perspective on such topics as changes to sign ordinances, parking lot require-ments and other issues that have the potential to affect a business’ bottom line. While the board is strictly advisory and has no governing author-ity, it creates two-way communication between businesses and village government. In addition to the Business Advisory Board, the Village of Glen Carbon maintains a list of regional, inde-pendent economic development experts with varying areas of expertise that they can consult on an as-needed basis.

In addition, fine and per-forming arts and athletic programs are annually ranked among the most outstanding in the St. Louis area. District 7’s reputation has made it the district of choice in the Metro East area. Many of the surrounding communities, particularly in Madison County, have lost population in recent years. District 7’s growth has resulted from peo-ple moving to here from neighboring communi-ties and relocating into the region from across the country. Area real estate agents steer their clients to the Edwardsville/Glen Carbon area

Gateway Regional Medical Center provides safe and effective care and has been recognized as a Top Performer on Key Quality Measures — among the best in the nation — for heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia and surgical care. This recognition comes from The Joint Commission, the leading accreditor of health care organizations in America. The hospital was recognized by The Joint Commission based on data reported about evidence-based clinical processes that are shown to improve care for certain conditions, including heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia and surgical care.

In fact, Gateway Regional Medical Center is one of only 405 U.S. hospi-tals and critical access hospitals earning the distinction of top performer on key quality measures for attaining and sustaining excellence. Inclusion on the list is based on an aggregation of accountability measure data reported to The Joint Commission during the previous calendar year.

“We understand that what matters most to our patients is safe, effec-tive care,” said Mark Bethell, chief executive officer of Gateway Regional Medical Center. “That’s why Gateway has made a commitment to evidence-based care processes. We have earned this recognition through the dedica-tion and skill of our medical staff, nurses and other clinicians who care for our patients each day.”

Dan Kernebeck, quality director at Gateway, said, “I think we go above and beyond in those four categories — heart attack, heart failure, pneumo-nia and surgical care. Our ‘best practices’ approach needs to be reproduc-ible. It needs to happen every time for every patient and that truly is our goal — to help us provide high-quality, safe, cost-effective care to each and every patient each and every time.”

According to Dr. Michael Adams, “The community can be proud that they have access to a top-performing hospital conveniently located here in the community. For individuals who have come to the hospital in the last few years … I know they have seen this change in quality. For those who have not recently had a chance to embrace the community hospital and our range of quality services, we are pleased to offer you and your family safe and effective care.”

Kernebeck concluded, “Gateway’s accreditation by The Joint Commission represents our commitment to quality and the level of com-mitment we give our patients to ensure they receive safe, high-quality care. As evidenced by recognition as a ‘Top Performer on Key Quality Measures’ for heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia and surgical care, quality, and safety are at the center of everything we do.”
