City - Dekalb

DeKalb earned the nickname "Barb City" long before Northern Illinois University reshaped its identity, and today those two chapters coexist in a compact, walkable city about 65 miles west of Chicago. Founded in 1856, the city made its mark as the birthplace of commercial barbed wire, and that agricultural heritage still threads through local culture alongside the academic energy NIU brings to campus and downtown alike. Northern Illinois University, Northwestern Medicine Kishwaukee Hospital, and Meta's data center are major employment anchors, giving the city an economic foundation that extends well beyond its college-town reputation.

Life here spreads across several distinct pockets: the Downtown Lincoln Highway corridor draws those who want live performances at the 1929-era Egyptian Theatre and quick access to independent shops, while the Ellwood Historic District offers tree-lined streets and stately architecture.
