Mount Carmel is the county seat of Wabash County, Illinois. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 7,982, an order of magnitude greater than that of the next largest town in Wabash County, Allendale, Illinois. The city sits on the western bank of the mighty Wabash River, and is neighbored by a small community informally known as East Mount Carmel, IN. Birthplace of Brace Beemer, the voice of The Lone Ranger. Birthplace of Don Liddle, pitcher for the New York Giants from 1952 to 1954, who pitched the decisive fourth game of the ‘54 World Series.
The city was featured in Ripley’s Believe it or Not for its once multi-colored bridge, painted white and black on the Illinois and Indiana sides of the state line, respectively. The bridge, now green, leads Indiana Highway 64, connecting Mount Carmel to Princeton, Indiana, home of a new Toyota factory that produces their Tundra line of trucks. A coal mine in neighboring Keensburg, Illinois also employs a fair number of Mount Carmel residents. However, Wabash County unemployment rate was, in 2003, was a rather high 8.3%. That number predates the loss of some 270 good paying jobs from the closing of a Snap-On Tools factory that had been in operation since 1937. The economic future of the town is far from certain.
Education
Mount Carmel is home to Wabash Valley College, part of the Illinois Eastern Community Colleges (IECC). The college has 1375 students, and has an active international student program. The small town atmosphere provides a laid back, comfortable setting in which to study English as a second language (ESL). As part of the IECC, residents benefit from a reciprocal agreement where nearly all of the out-of-state fees to attend the University of Southern Indiana are waved, in exchange for similar tuition discounts for Indiana students in IECC schools. Their men’s basketball team, the Warriors, won the NJCAA Division I championships in 2001.
