About Edwardsville

Edwardsville is the Madison County seat and a Metro East city about 18 miles northeast of downtown St. Louis. It has a college-town side through Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, along with local institutions such as the Edwardsville Arts Center and long-running community newspapers. The city is also headquarters for Prairie Farms Dairy, one of the region's major privately held companies. Edwardsville feels like a practical county hub with a stronger civic and university presence than its size alone might suggest.
