Centralia, Railroad hub city in Illinois, United States.
The city spreads across four counties - Clinton, Jefferson, Marion, and Washington - forming a diverse administrative region in southern Illinois.
Established in 1853, Centralia developed into a transportation center when the Illinois Central Railroad constructed maintenance facilities and operations infrastructure.
Multiple annual festivals throughout the year bring together local artisans, food vendors, and musicians to celebrate the community heritage.
The City Hall on Locust Street houses administrative offices where residents can access municipal services and obtain permits for local activities.
The city maintains strong connections to its railroad past through preserved infrastructure and architectural elements from the Illinois Central Railroad era.
