Troy ~ Illinois ~ 62294
Location
Troy's setting is one of the most unique in the St. Louis MetroEast area being located at the crossroads of two interstate highways (I-55 and I-70). While only 20 minutes to all the St. Louis big city attractions -- professional sports, theaters, museums, fine restaurants -- Troy itself retains its small-town atmosphere.
Troy is located 12 miles north of the main gate of Scott AFB. The commute is a very pleasant one, with no traffic problems.
History
Troy is one of the oldest communities in Madison County, having been entered in the U.S. Land Office in 1814. Its location has been right in the path of America's transportation routes, and Troy's growth started in the second half of the 19th century upon the arrival of a stagecoach route running through the city. The stagecoach line was eventually replaced by the St. Louis and Vandalia Railroad.
However, Troy's biggest growth occurred between 1970 and 1980 due to the latest development in land transportation, the interstate highway.
Attractions
Troy offers affordable homes in every price range, from neat two-bedroom homes in downtown Troy, to five-bedroom homes on a lake front lot, to homes on tracts of various sizes.
The town park offers lighted softball, baseball and soccer fields, lighted tennis courts and a fishing lake. The park is also the home of Troy Soccer League as well as boys and girls baseball and softball. Almost every group and activity are available in Troy for both young and old. A Senior Citizens' Center was completed in 1980 with a complete program, including noon lunches.
Summary
The Triad School District consists of grade schools and junior and senior high, offering bus service to outlying areas and a complete curriculum including industrial arts and agricultural programs, with all major sports.
