Byron
is known as the "Gateway to the Rock River Valley"
and is attractive to new businesses and residents because
of its
proximity to all that big cities have to offer while maintaining
its
small-town feel. Byron is a modern urban community with
a friendly rural character. Known for their award-winning
golf
course, beautiful river front, and excellent schools, Byron
is
located in northern Illinois along the Rock River, 88 miles
west of
Chicago and 12 miles south of Rockford. Surrounded by the
beauty of nature and friendly people, Byron is a wonderful
place to live, work, and visit.
