Why is Peru's name appropriate?
The Origin of the Peru, IL was the founding fathers admired the industrious nature of the inhabitants of Peru. An early act of the legislature set aside Section Sixteen in every township for school purposes. Therefore, when more settlers came to Peru in 1834, the School Commissioners laid out and sold the southwest quarter of Section Sixteen, and called it "Peru." This is said to be the Inca Indian word for "wealth."
Peru, Illinois (population 10,295 2010 census) was settled because it was the starting point of the Illinois & Michigan canal. Before the railroad the preferred method for long-distance travel and shipping was by boat. Travel between St. Louis and Chicago could be done by taking the Illinois river to Peru and then taking the lock & dam canal to Chicago. A series of Illinois cities were named after other waterway cities in New York: Peru, Utica, Seneca, and Lockport. Others say that Peru, the Inca word for wealth, was adopted because in the 1500's Spain colonized the South American country Peru forcing some of the Incas as far North as Illinois. The city was named after these native Americans.

What are the famous mountains in Peru called?
The Andes spread across Peru, forming the largest concentration of snow peaks of the Americas. They are an intricate system of large and small mountain ranges -approximately 20 of them- crowned by a thousand summits that tower over 5,000 masl and more than thirty that rise above 6,000 masl. The best-known are the Cordillera Blanca and Huayhuash ranges in the department of Ancash; Vilcanota and Vilcabamba in Cuzco; Carabaya in Puno; Chila in Arequipa; La Viuda in Lima, and Pariacaca in Junín. Mountains in Peru are so pervasive that it is almost impossible to imagine a landscape without soaring peaks looming in the horizon. Only in the Amazon plain and some areas in the arid coastal desert does the land flatten out.
Besides splitting Peru's territory into two clearly defined regions, the Andes are the country's continental water- divide. This means that the summits of the Andes channel the water from rain and thawed glaciers in two diametrically opposite directions: to the West into the Pacific Ocean, and to the East into the large Amazon basin.
The Andes are mostly located slightly south of the Equator and this location has a decisive influence on the characteristics of Andean massifs. Therefore, although its summits remain perpetually snow-capped, Peru's Andes are, to a great extent, a tropical range.
