List of places named Peoria : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of places named Peoria
This is a list of places named Peoria, which includes geographic name features such as populated places, geographical features, and post offices — including combined forms of the name, such as West Peoria, Illinois, and variations of the name, such as Paola, Kansas. The original Peoria is found in Illinois. The largest Peoria (since 2010) is found in Arizona. Several places named Peoria are now just ghost towns found on old maps. ==Peoria as a place name==
The original Peoria (there are Indians still living who claim Peoria blood) were one of the principal tribes of the once-strong Illinois Confederation and had a language of the Algonquian family. The Algonquian nation had its ancient home north of the Great Lakes, whence the Peoria probably split off and drifted down the Mississippi Valley. Most places named Peoria derive — or probably derive — from the Peoria tribe of Indians. A few may owe their existence to settlers from Peoria, Illinois.〔Scheetz, George H. "Peoria."
