Central Illinois, also called the Heart of Illinois, is an area of the state of Illinois. Champaign-Urbana, Quincy, Springfield, Danville and Decatur are usually listed as Central Illinois cities, towns or villages. These five places, however, are also often named Southern Illinois places on many occasions and some area citizens.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Galesburg, Peoria, Normal and Bloomington are always included in the Central Illinois classification areas.
