WHERE TRADITION MEETS PROGRESS

There is no rush hour in Andover – no gridlock.  We commute past cornfields, livestock herds, wildlife, meadows and rivers.  We are dedicated to keeping our heritage and values, which have served us since 1835.  Well-preserved homes and historical buildings, built when Andover was an early colony, are tastefully surrounded by newer homes and businesses.  Persons dedicated to the agriculture industry mingle with the many tourists visiting this historic community, which is the home of the world-famous Jenny Lind Chapel.

With a population of 600 persons, Andover welcomes new homes and businesses that appeal to the tourism and agriculture market.  Strategically located between the Quad-Cities USA, Galesburg and Kewanee, Andover is two miles east of Interstate 74 on Illinois Route 81 and just nine miles south of Interstate 80.  An international airport and an Amtrak station are both located within 20 miles of Andover.  The village offers city water, wide streets, a beautiful ten-acre park and an excellent volunteer fire department.  Come and see the building opportunities available in the town Andover’s founders laid out on 49 ten-acre blocks.
