Driving Around Small Town Marseilles, Illinois in 4k Video

Filmed on Friday, July 7 2023, I drive around the village Marseilles, IL to see what's going on. Lovell Kimball arrived in 1833, anticipating the construction of the Illinois-Michigan Canal to pass directly through the area, and he hired a surveyor to lay out a town. Kimball called the town Marseilles in reference to the French city of Marseille, hoping it would become a similar industrial center. In 1921 the National Biscuit Company (now Nabisco) built an eight-story corrugated cardboard box production plant in Marseilles, the largest industrial building in the state (outside of Chicago) at the time, and the first air-conditioned factory in the Midwest. Nabisco was a major employer in the area but ceased production at the plant in 2002. As of the 2020 census there were 4,845 people residing in the city. The racial makeup of the city was 88.3% White, 0.8% African American, 0.5% Native American, 0.5% Asian, 3.0% from other races, and 7.0% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 7.2% of the population. The median income for a household in the city was $51,835, and the per capita income was $26,182. 20.3% of individuals were below the poverty line. #driving #drivingtour #travel
