Saint Charles Welcomes You

Mayor's Greeting

Whether you already live or work in St. Charles or you are considering moving your family or business here, all will agree – St. Charles is a very special community to call “home.” Close by we have all the amenities such as a wide variety of shops, special restaurants, and a cultural arts schedule of a much larger town, while being small enough to see people you know every day!

St. Charles enjoys large open areas, many parks and recreational areas, and schools that we are proud to have our children attend. Not only do our students excel academically, but we can boast about several state championship titles.

Yes, we have reason to be proud of this historic, riverfront community. We welcome new businesses and families to enjoy what we do every day! We love it here and would like to do anything we can to make you feel the same way. Please call or come to visit me if you have any questions, comments, or concerns about the quality of life in the wonderful city of St. Charles.

Sincerely,
Donald P. DeWitte
Mayor
