Who We Are

Sandwich is located in Northern Illinois and is home to 7,421 residents. The people of Sandwich enjoy a high quality of life which is enhanced by its schools, churches, and service organizations.

The Sandwich city offices are located in an 1879 City Hall/Opera House. City offices are on the first floor and an active opera house is on the second floor. This building was completely restored in 1986 and is on the National Register of Historic Buildings.

Sandwich is proud to be the home of the Sandwich Fair. Held every year since 1888, it is the oldest continuing county fair in the State of Illinois!

Located in the heartland of America, Sandwich has a diverse economy based on business, industry, and farming.
