Settled in the 1840's, Evansville was originally referred to as the "the Grove" -- a historical reference to a stand of trees just northwest of town. This image is kept alive by the contemporary Arbor Day Foundation's 2002 Tree City award. Even though the city is presently one of the fastest growing communities in Rock County, Evansville has maintained its charm and small town friendly atmosphere. Evansville's vision for its future is clearly articulated throughout numerous current, as well as proposed, public and private projects. Several of these projects can be identified while touring the city.
Many downtown business owners have launched major restoration projects, returning Evansville's Main Street to its former glory and attracting new businesses to town. Union Bank and Trust, a local bank is partnering with the city's Economic Development Commission to provide grants to assist business owners with facade restoration.
