Peoria which roughly translates to "prairie fire" was actually the site of an expansive fire that broke out in 1917. The fire destroyed a majority of the business district of Peoria, and damaged the whole settlement. Luckily the fire coincided with an influx of wealth in the area so the new buildings were better constructed, and more architecturally beautiful.
