Collinsville, Illinois is most famous for its 20th century roadside Americana, Monk's Mound, and its reputation as the World Horseradish Capital. But Collinsville, IL, is also home to some splendid architecture. Situated in Madison County, the city was named after William Collins, a settler from Connecticut, in 1818. Located just 12 miles directly east of downtown St. Louis, Missouri, Collinsville is also close to Caseville, Maryville, and Fairview Heights. At the time of the 2000 census, Collinsville had a population of 24,707. While the annual Italian Fest and Horseradish Festival are the main attraction in Collinsville, the Giant Catsup Bottle (a water tank in the shape of a ketchup bottle) is also a very popular feature in the city's landscape.

The median household income in Collinsville is $42,353 and the percentage of diploma holders is 85%. The per capita income in Collinsville is $22,048. Accommodations and food services, as well as retail trade, are the major sectors of employment for Collinsville residents. Unit Community # 10 School District is the top employer in Collinsville, although the Fairmount Race Track also employs many people as well. The Illinois State Transport Office is located in Collinsville, and Schnuck's Market, Wal-Mart, and K-Mart employ more than 500 people.

While no major industry or manufacturers are located in Collinsville, the city has enjoyed a steady population growth over the past 30 years. A dramatic increase in the presents of service and retail stores is a testament to the city's potential growth. City officials have adopted a proactive business approach and have actively and aggressively solicited businesses to consider locating in Collinsville because of the city's easy access to three major interstates, abundant workforce and affordable real estate. However, at this time Collinsville remains primarily a residential suburb.
