Valley Honda is proud to serve Batavia, IL, the oldest city in Kane County, with a history that dates back to 1833. It was called “Big Woods” back then, after the wild growth that covered the area, before being renamed to Batavia after the former home of a local judge who owned the majority of the town.
Today, Batavia is an award-winning community that consistently ranks among the top places to live in the United States. It was once ranked among the top 50 best places in America to raise kids by BusinessWeek, and given the quality of the Batavia High School, it’s no surprise. Just last year, it won its third consecutive GRAMMY Signature School for excellence in music education, and in 2013, its football team won the 6A state championship.
Batavia has also been called one of the best small towns in the nation by CNN. It’s a bicycle-friendly city with clean streets, a warm community, plenty of activity, and even a collection of historic windmills. What’s not to love?
