Prairie Du Rocher, meaning "Prairie of the Rock" in French, is a historic village located in Randolph County, Illinois, nestled at the foot of limestone bluffs along the Mississippi River. Founded in 1722 by French colonists, it represents one of the earliest European settlements in the Illinois Country and the Middle Mississippi River Valley.

The village maintains strong connections to its French colonial heritage, which is evident in its architecture, street names, and cultural traditions. Prairie Du Rocher's historical significance is closely tied to Fort de Chartres, a nearby 18th-century French colonial fort that played a crucial role in the region's early development. The village and its surroundings offer insights into the French colonial period in North America, with several preserved historic structures and regular cultural events that celebrate this heritage.
