Jo Daviess County New Resident Welcome Kit

Welcome to Galena Country

We love living here, and we bet you will, too. Nestled along the Mississippi River, our little corner of the world offers big finds for the lifestyle you long for. Being "at home" feels like being on a weekend getaway every day of the year when you make your home in scenic Jo Daviess County.

Breathtaking beauty, outdoor adventures, peace and serenity, small-town warmth, a caring community, thriving small businesses with above-and-beyond customer service, and world-class dining marries with modern necessity, top-rated schools, respected and awarded healthcare professionals and fitness facilities, a rapidly expanding fiber network, cell network build outs, and close access to transportation hubs. Living in Galena Country gives "working from home" a fresh new perspective. And, it's a wonderful place to raise a family or retire.

Make your move and write your story. We're here to help.
