Peoria as a place name

The original Peoria 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.
