The "Hometown of Superman" is a charming town of some 6,000 nestled along the picturesque Ohio River in the far south of Illinois (a six-hour drive from Chicago) where it borders Kentucky, and boasts a number of attractions beyond its superhero connection. With a rich history dating back to 1839, Metropolis has grown into a vibrant hub for both residents and visitors alike. Originally settled by European immigrants attracted to the fertile lands along the Ohio, Metropolis has a fascinating heritage that reflects the diverse cultures that have shaped it over the years, from its early days as a small trading post to its development into a thriving small town. And whether you're seeking cultural experiences, outdoor adventures, or simply a relaxing getaway, Metropolis has the proverbial something for everyone.
