Oswego tourist information
The community is striving to keep its small town character and it remains a great place to raise a family. Many new residents cite our quality schools as the reason they moved to Oswego. Community Unit District 308 has an excellent reputation in the Chicagoland area and has maintained its high standards, even as enrollment has increased. For example, the school district has an excellent math program, as shown by consistently high scores on the Illinois Goal Assessment Test.
Oswego is served by the Rush-Copley Medical Center, a 142-bed academic community hospital that offers a cancer center, heart institute, physical rehabilitation center and state-of-the-art fitness facility.

The Oswegoland Park District offers residents an abundance of recreational programs. A new aquatic center, bike trails, and hundreds of acres of parks provide Oswego area residents with clean and safe recreation. Festivals, such as the annual PrairieFest, provide seasonal entertainment for the whole family.
Oswego is home to the Fox Bend Golf Course, rated as one of the top twenty public courses in the Chicagoland area. The Illinois Open was held at Fox Bend in 1997 and in 1999. For the ninth year in a row, the pro shop at Fox Bend has been recognized by Golf Digest as one of the top 100 golf shops in America.
Located along the Fox River, our historic downtown includes shops, restaurants and the Oswego Public Library, which is a community center for learning, culture and recreation. Each year, the Oswego Chamber of Commerce sponsors Christmas Walk, which draws thousands of people from the Fox Valley to downtown.
Oswego, located in Labette County on US 160 and US 59 in southeastern Kansas, is a quiet little town with broad streets graced with beautiful shade trees high upon a bluff overlooking the Neosho Rivers.
Once known as "Little Town", it was the home of a band of Osage Indians for more than 45 years. After much unrest due to the Civil War, a town association was formed and a name chosen from suggestions put in a box. Oswego was named for Oswego, New York.

Located on the shores of Lake Ontario, the Oswego Community is surrounded by an abundance of natural resources and comprised of people who will make you feel at home from the very first time you stroll our streets.
Oswego is a major trade center due to its International Port and central location on Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence Seaway. It is also one of New York State's primary power producing regions. In close proximity to all major markets in the northeastern United States and Canada, Oswego has a diverse industrial base and a lucrative State Economic Development Zone designation. This designation allows us to offer incentives to companies who relocate within the zone.
Of all of Oswego's many resources and charms, its greatest is its people. Oswego is comprised of hard-working men and women, who do their very best day in and day out for their families and their community. It is a distinct honor for me to be their mayor and to welcome you, on their behalf, to the wonderful city we are privileged to call home.
