The charm of Oswego has to start with the Fox River.  It’s winding path through town makes a beautiful backdrop for the quaint shops and friendly faces that will greet you there. 

Like many riverfront towns Oswego is nestled along the shoreline and takes advantage of natures beauty.  Local merchants have found a home in downtown Oswego and enjoy the camaraderie of its visitors.  Parks and restaurants dot the landscape and on any given day you can find a flurry of activity around the Library and Post Office located in the heart of the city.  Some are busy getting errands done and some are just stopping to chat.

The hometown feel is ever present and appreciated. 

The city is located about 50 miles west of Chicago and was established in 1834.  Since then the city has gone through many changes. From the regular service of a stagecoach line to a business base for many corporations Oswego continues to prosper.  In the mid 1950’s Oswego was one of the largest agricultural areas, at that same time Caterpillar and Western Electric were locating facilities in the area.  New subdivisions started popping up and neighborhoods were formed. Oswego offers the best of both worlds it has beautiful farm land and quiet country roads as well as new developments and economic growth.
