Wikipedia description:
Wood River is a city in Madison County, Illinois. The population was 10,464 as of the 2020 census. Wood River developed as a company town around a Standard Oil refinery built in 1907 and 1908 and was chartered as a city in 1923. The community lies near the site of Camp River Dubois, the winter staging camp of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, a heritage reflected in the city's motto, "Progressing in the Spirit of Lewis & Clark."
