Normal

Out of the Ordinary

Originally called North Bloomington, the Town of Normal has established an identity all its own, thanks in part to its largest and most recognizable institution — Illinois State University. But beyond the college campus, Normal boasts a proud legacy as a manufacturing leader, first for Diamond-Star Motors and Mitsubishi, and now for Rivian Automotive. Residents will discover fantastic public schools and numerous parks and green spaces providing space to stretch out and relax, plus numerous opportunities for shopping and dining, ranging from the revitalized Uptown to the Shoppes at College Hills.
