International employers, a full range of shopping, innovative schools, culture, recreational fun amid beautiful parks and significant architecture create a quality community - earning St. Charles its reputation as the Pride of the Fox! The Hotel Baker, Pheasant Run Resort and Convention Center, fine restaurants, over 1200 hotel rooms, Scarecrow Festival, Art & Music Festival, and the Kane County Flea Market are just some of the reasons this picturesque city on the Fox River is a destination for travel and pleasure. Founded in 1834, St. Charles is the center of Kane County, 35 miles west of downtown Chicago and midway between Elgin to the north, and Aurora to the south. State highways 25, 31, 38, and 64 cross through St. Charles, as do county thoroughfares Randall and Kirk Roads.
