About this area
About Monmouth
Monmouth—located in the heart of Western Illinois—is a great place to move to. The city has a population of just under 9,000 (2025). Local businesses propagate the downtown area with unique shopping experiences for all. It is also home to Monmouth College, which participates in Division 3 athletics under the NCAA. It’s located about an hour’s drive from Peoria and just 20 minutes from Galesburg—a town slightly larger than Monmouth. Blending the best of a big city with the charm of a small town, this suburban area makes an excellent place to set down roots.
Head to Public Square—the center of town—to get familiar with some of Monmouth’s most popular businesses, such as Market Alley Wine, Avery’s Pub, Patton Block Grill & Brew Pub, and Maude Specklebelly’s. These are prime spots for relaxing on the weekends and connecting with friends and family.
Those who love the outdoors will be thrilled by all the recreation options in Monmouth and the surrounding area. Gibson Woods Golf Course is a highly rated place to enjoy a round of golf, with sprawling greens adjacent to Monmouth Park. On the southern end of town, Monmouth Country Club offers a 9-hole course in scenic surroundings. A few smaller green spaces dot the landscape as well, including Diffenbaugh-Harmon Park and West Park.
Those looking for homes for sale in Monmouth will find a wide selection to choose from in a wide range of price points.
