About Sister Cities in Naperville

The concept of Sister Cities was created at President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s 1956 summit on citizen diplomacy, where he envisioned a network that would champion peace and prosperity by forming bonds between people from different communities around the world.  The goal of the relationship is to enrich communities through reciprocal cultural, educational, business, municipal, professional, and technical exchanges.

In 1993 Naperville formalized a Sister cities relationship with Nitra, Slovakia.  The city of Pátzcuaro, Mexico was approved by the Naperville City council in July 2010 as a second Sister city.   The Naperville Sister Cities Commission is in place to facilitate the connection of our communites through a robust program of exchange.
