Welcome to Palestine, the oldest town in Illinois. Pictures and Information courtesy Palestine Development Association. It is said that French explorer Jean LaMotte first gazed upon this region in 1678. He gave it the name Palestine, as it reminded him of the biblical land of milk and honey. Early Native Americans indigenous to the area were Mound Builders. Several burial mound sites left by these early Americans are still visible today. Palestine was selected as the seat of the newly formed Crawford County in 1818. Soon a courthouse, jail and land grant office were constructed. The U.S. Land Office was an effective drawing card for the area, bringing people from far and wide to Palestine. Probably the most notable visitor was 21-year old Abraham Lincoln. He and his family spent several days in Palestine while enroute to the Springfield area. It is notable that Lincoln made some of his earliest political contacts in Palestine, many whom he remained friends with throughout his career. The village of Palestine quickly became a profitable place to live and work, sporting a busy river port, a grain mill, unique entertainment venues and a variety of shops and services. In the 1870s trains became a common site, bringing increased traffic and trade to the area. Soon Palestine possessed a depot, roundhouse and train yard. Palestine was home to early aviation pioneers the Flying Rousch Brothers, as well as Amy (Auntie) Gogin, the first female to own and operate a business in Illinois. Another famed local was Elizabeth Reed, who after poisoning her husband in 1844, set fire to the Palestine jail and later became the first woman ever executed and the only woman ever hung in Illinois Visit Online Here

We are more than satisfied with the excellent service we received from the Switz City Flooring America store. The price was great, the service was timely and we are thrilled with the good quality carpet. We will do business with them again in the future!
Remodeling our supermarket required a new floor installation. The Flooring America crew came in after our 11:00 PM closing time and expertly installed our new floor in only 4 evenings. There was no distraction to our business or inconvenience to our customers. Thanks!
