Welcome To Illinois

In 1873 Louis Jollet And Father Jacques Marquette Explored
The Illinois Country For France. By The 1763 Treaty Ending The
French And Indian War, This Area Passed To England. During The
American Revolution, George Rogers Clark's Men Captured It For
The Commonwealth Of Virginia. Illinois Was Later Governed As Part
Of The Northwest Territory, Indiana Territory, And The
Illinois Territory. In 1818, Illinois Entered The Union As The
Twenty-First State.

Permanent American Settlers Began Arriving At The State's
Southwestern Tip In 1805. Earthquakes Rocked The Mississippi Valley
In 1811 Bringing Refugees Here In Search Of New Homesites. After
The War Of 1812, Another Wave Of Settlers Came, Some Bringing
Slaves. The Newcomers Raised Cotton, Flax, And Tobacco. Later,
They Raised Corn And Wheat.

Northeast Of Here, At Jonesboro, Abraham Lincoln Debated
Stephen Douglas During The 1858 Senatorial Campaign. During The
Civil War, Cairo Served As A Major Staging Base Where Men And
Supplies Were Assembled Before Departing For The War Zones. Mound
City On The Ohio River Was The Principal Depot For The Western
River Fleet. Nearby Is Thebes, Once A Bustling River Port. The Town
Declined When Railroads Replaced The Steamboats, But The Beautiful
1848 Courthouse Still Stands. Nowadays, Touritsts And Hunters Are
Drawn To "Egypt" -- Illinois Sixteen Southernmost Counties - By
The Beauty Of The Shawnee Forest And Wildlife At Horseshoe Lake.

Erected By The Illinois Department Of Transportation

And The Illinois State Historical Society 1980
