Located just minutes from the Illinois border, the town of Beloit is a place where yesterday and tomorrow merge. Historic remnants of Beloit's birth and growth dot the town amid signs of growth. Historic homes and an old stone water tower share space with the revitalized Beloit Riverfront and Riverside Park. The economy of Beloit is well-equipped to insure a bright future, with 88 industrial firms, 850 retail establishments and several corporate headquarters. In addition, tourism plays a major role in the community's livelihood. Several historical museums (1857 Hanchett-Bartlett Victorian homestead and the 1868 Beckman Hill Museum and others), unique community events (Autorama and APBA Power Boat Races) and the Snappers, a minor league baseball team, all contribute to Beloit's place as a great location to visit and reside. One of the most visible landmarks in town is Beloit College, known as the "Yale of the Midwest". This private, four-year college was founded in 1846 and has the distinction of being Wisconsin's oldest college in continuous service. The campus area is rich in history, as Indian burial grounds and colonial-style buildings can be found throughout.
