What is the history of Normal?

Normal, IL was named North Bloomington (or “The Junction”). It was first envisioned and laid out by Joseph Parkinson on June 7, 1854. Businessman Jesse W. Fell also played a role in the founding of the town, since he’d also arranged for the railroad to pass just west of Bloomington on land that he owned. The citizens changed the name to “Normal” in 1865 to reflect the name of Illinois State Normal University, the local teacher-training college.

That’s significantly lower than the national average of 26 minutes.  

What are the local media outlets?
