Originally known as North Bloomington, the town was incorporated as Normal in February of 1865. The name was taken name from Illinois State Normal University, a teacher-training institution located there. The school has since been renamed Illinois State University after becoming a general four year university. Normal is adjacent to Bloomington, Illinois, and when mentioned together they are known as the "Twin Cities," "Bloomington-Normal," "Twin Town," or simply "B-N." The current mayor of Normal is Chris Koos.
The main campus of Heartland Community College, a two-year, fully accredited institution, and a satellite campus of Lincoln College, which offers associate degrees as well as four-year programs, are both located in Normal.
Downtown Normal is currently being revitalized to attract new businesses, and it was recently made the home of the new Children's Discovery Museum. The district is also home to the historic and non-profit Normal Theater, a restored Art Deco theater owned by the Town of Normal that runs classic and independent films.
A large percentage of residents of Normal are employed by Illinois State University, State Farm Insurance (Corporate Headquarters in Bloomington), Country Insurance and Financial Services, and the Mitsubishi Motors North America manufacturing facility, which manufactures the Eclipse, Eclipse Spyder, Endeavor, and Galant.
