Malta offers a quiet, close-knit setting with wide-open horizons and easy everyday living, while sitting just minutes from the amenities of dekalb and sycamore in dekalb-county. U.S. Route 38 runs through town, making commutes simple and weekend outings effortless. The village celebrates its deep agricultural roots and a notable place in transportation history—the Lincoln Highway “Seedling Mile,” commemorated by the Illinois Lincoln Highway Coalition, marks an early paved stretch of America’s first transcontinental highway.
Families appreciate access to education at every stage. Students attend schools in DeKalb CUSD 428, and higher education is right at home with Kishwaukee College, known for strong career and transfer programs, workforce training, and community learning. Village life stays well-organized and welcoming, with updates and services shared by the Village of Malta.
Outdoors, residents explore nearby preserves overseen by the DeKalb County Forest Preserve District or cast a line and paddle at Shabbona Lake State Park. Everyday needs are met close by, and regional healthcare is anchored by Northwestern Medicine Kishwaukee Hospital just down the road.
Whether you’re moving for schools, a shorter commute, or more space to breathe, Malta delivers a relaxed pace with practical connections.
