North Utica, often known as Utica, is a village in Utica Township, LaSalle County, Illinois. The population was 1352 at the 2010 United States Census. It is part of the Ottawa–Streator Micropolitan Statistical Area.
While North Utica is the proper name for the city, advertising on nearby Interstates 80 and 39 refers to the village by its original name, Utica. In addition, people who live in the area, official Interstate signage, and signs indicating the city limits all refer to the town as Utica.
The town of Utica had previously been established on the banks of the Illinois River during the 1830s, but flooding and the construction of the Illinois and Michigan Canal a few miles north encouraged redevelopment of the village there as North Utica.
Utica was once the home to Hall of Fame baseball player Joseph Atkins.
There were 9 fatalities during a F3 tornado on April 20, 2004, which heavily damaged the downtown business district.
North Utica is located at 41°20′32″N 89°0′51″W / 41.34222°N 89.01417°W (41.3422775, -89.0142070).
