1829-1831-NINE NEW COUNTIES.


During this period nine new counties were created: Two in 1829, two in 1830 and five in 1831. In 1829, Macoupin, (January 17) from Madison and un- organized territory attached to Greene, was given its present boundaries, and Macon, (January 19) from territory attached to Shelby, included the present area of Macon, together with portions of Piatt, Moultry and DeWitt.


In 1830; Coles, (December 25) from the western part of Clark and the unor- ganized territory north of it, included the present counties of Douglas, Coles and Cumberland. McLean, (December 25) from the eastern part of Tazewell and territory east of it, included all its present area with parts of Piatt, De- Witt, Logan, Woodford and Livingston.


In 1831, Cook, (January 15) from Putnam, contained, besides its present territory, all of Lake and DuPage and parts of McHenry and Will. LaSalle, (January 15) from Putnam and unorganized territory south of the Illinois, contained, besides its present area, all of Grundy and parts of Livingston, Kendall and Marshall. Rock Island, (February 9) from JoDaviess, was given its present boundaries. Effingham and Jasper, (February 15) were given their present boundaries, the first from Fayette and Crawford, and the latter from Crawford and Clay. The boundaries of Henry, Putnam and Knox were altered but neither county reduced to its present lines, Mercer was attached to War- ren until fully organized; Henry was attached to Knox, and the unorganized country north of LaSalle was attached to that county. Towns 12 and 13 north, 5 east of the 4th principal meridian were included by acts of the same date in both Knox and Henry counties. The section of the act including this tract in Henry was repealed March 4, 1837. The county boundaries at the close of this period are shown on Map No. 19.


1833-1835-CHAMPAIGN AND IROQUOIS.


In 1833, Champaign, (February 20) from Vermilion and unorganized terri- tory lying westof it, was given its present boundaries. Iroquois, (February 26) from unorganized territory north of Vermilion, included, besides its pres-


10


ent area, nearly all of Kankakee and nearly half of Will. By these two acts Vermilion was reduced to its present limits. The boundary between Frank- lin and Perry was re-adjusted, (March 1, 1835) making Little Muddy river the dividing line between the counties. Feb 12, 1835, the line dividing San- gamon and Morgan was re-defined and provision made for its survey. In 1833, (February 26) Vermilion was enlarged to its present limits by the addition of unorganized territory on the north. These changes are shown on Map No. 20.


1836-SIX NEW COUNTIES.


In 1836, six new counties were formed: Will, (January 12) from Cook and Iroquois, included, besides its present area, the part of Kankakee county lying north of the Kankakee river. Kane, McHenry, Ogle, Whiteside and Winne- bago were created by a single act, (January 16). Kane included the present counties of Kane and DeKalb and part of Kendall; McHenry, besides its pres- ent area, included Lake; Winnebago included Boone and part of Stephenson; Ogle consisted of the present counties of Ogle and Lee, while Whiteside was given its present boundaries. The boundary of JoDaviess was re-defined and the area greatly reduced by the act of Jan 16. Winnebago, Ogle and White- side were attached to JoDaviess, and Kane to LaSalle, until their several organizations could be completed. See Map No. 21.


1837-1839-TWENTY-ONE NEW COUNTIES.


The changes made in the county boundaries in 1837 and 1839 are shown on Map No. 22.


In 1837, six new counties were created; Livingston (Feb. 27) from LaSalle, McLean and unorganized territory to the east; Bureau (Feb. 28) from Putnam; Cass, (March 3)from Morgan; Boone, (March 4) from Winnebago; DeKalb, (March 4) from Kane; and Stephenson, (March 4) from Winnebago and JoDaviess. All these were given their present boundaries except Cass, whose southern boun- dary was fixed three miles further north than now, and Winnebago was re- duced to its present limits.


In 1839, fifteen new counties were formed, a greater number than in any other year of the State's history, and equal to all that have since been created. Marshall, (Jan. 9) from Putnam, was given its present boundaries, except that two townships (29 and 30 north, 1 east; from LaSalle) were attached in 1843; Brown, (Feb. 1) from Schuyler: DuPage, (Feb. 9) from Cook; and Dane re- mained Christian, (Feb. 15 and 26) from Shelby, Montgomery and Sangamon was given their present boundaries. Logan, (Feb. 15) from Sangamon, was smaller than at present, three whole and three fractional townships from Tazewell, (1840) and a fractional township from DeWitt, (1845) having since been added to the north. Menard, (Feb. 15) from Sangamon, included, besides its present area, about half of Mason county. Scott, (Feb. 16) from Morgan; Carroll, (Feb. 22) from JoDaviess; Lee, (Feb. 27) from Ogle; Jersey, (Feb 28) from Greene, and Williamson,(Feb. 28) from Franklin, were given their pres- ent boundaries. De Witt, (March 1) from McLean and Macon, included, besides its present area; the northern part of Piatt and a small tract since attached to Logan. Lake, (March 1) from McHenry, was given its present boundaries. Hardin, (March 2) from Pope contained but about one half its present area; and Stark, (March 2) from Knox and Putnam, was given its present boundaries. Those several acts reduced the following ten counties to their present limits: Cook, Franklin, Green, JoDaviess, Knox, McHenry, Montgomery, Putnam, Sangamon and Schuyler. The western boundary of Hardin was changed Jan. 8, 1840, from the Grand Pierre creek to the present line between Pope and Hardin. The name of Dane county was changed to Christian Feb. 1, 1840.

1841-1859-FIFTEEN NEW COUNTIES.


Since 1839 fifteen new counties have been created, making the total number at the present time 102. No new counties have been created since 1859 and no important changes made in county boundaries since that year. Map No. 23 shows the county boundaries as they exist at the present time with the date of the formation of each.


In 1841 Henderson, (January 20) from Warren; Mason from Tazewell and Menard; Piatt, (January 27) from DeWitt and Macon: Grundy, (February 17) from La Salle; Kendall, (February 19) from La Salle and Kane; Richland, (February 24) from Clay and Lawrence; and Woodford, (February 27) from McLean and Tazewell, were given their present boundaries, and the following eight counties, Clay, Kane, La Salle, Lawrence, McLean, Menard, Tazewell and Warren, were reduced to their present limits.


In 1843, four new counties were created: Massac, (February 8) from Pope and Johnson; Moultrie, (February 16) from Shelby and Macon; Cumberland, (March 2) from Coles; and Pulaski, (March 3) from Johnson and Alexander, were given their present boundaries. Pope, Johnson, Shelby, Macon and Alexander were reduced to their present limits.


In 1845, (February 16) part of Morgan was added to Cass; (February 26) part of De Witt was added to Logan; the line between Fulton and Peoria was re-adjusted (February 28), but no new counties were created.


In 1847, Saline, (February 25) from Gallatin, was given its present bound- aries and (February 20) territory was added to Hardin. By these two acts, Gallatin was reduced to its present limits, and with the act of January 8, 1840, changing the eastern boundary of Pope, Hardin was given its present boundaries.


In 1856, Kankakee, (February 11) from Iroquois and Will, was given its present boundaries except that two townships (30 and 21 north, 9 east). were added to the western part. February 14, 1855. The act creating Kankakee reduced Iroquois and Will to their present limits.


In 1859, Douglas, (February 8) from Coles, was given its present boundaries and Coles reduced to its present limits; Ford, (February 17) the latest county to be created was formed from unorganized territory which had been at- tached to Vermilion since the creation of that county in 1826. Ford was given its present boundaries and Vermilion reduced to its present limits.


During this period and in preceding years as well. a number of laws af- fecting county boundaries were enacted which have not been referred to in this article for the reason that the changes made by these acts have been so unimportant that they could not well be shown on maps so small as those following this sketch and intendimg to illustrate it. Some of the lines on the maps are not beyond possible controversy. The acts establishing the lines are not always clear and are sometimes plainly contradictory. When Crawford was established in 1816, its western boundary was described as "the meridian"; and it has been assumed that the 3rd principal meridian was meant. The act creating Fayette in 1821, strictly construed. extended its northern limit to the Wisconsin line; but subsequent acts indicate that no territory north of the Illinois river was at any time considered a part of Fayette. The act of 1825 adding territory to Madison is contradictory in its terms and a subsequent act, reciting how this act shall not be construed, fails to clarify the original law. The provisions by which unorganized terri- tory was "attached" to organized counties very greatly in terins, and possibly in meaning. Such territory is "temporarily attached" by one act "attached for county purposes" by another, for "judicial purposes" by a third, and still other forms are used. One act provides that property in the attached terri- tory shall not be taxed for the erection of public buildings in the county to which the territory is attached, and another that "the inhabitants residing therein shall enjoy all the rights and privileges belonging to the citizens of the county" to which the territory is attached. The act creating Fulton in 1823 gave to it definite boundaries as shown on Map No. 14, and declared that


12


this territory "shall constitute a separate county"; but further declared that all the county east of the 4th meridian and north of the Illinois, formerly a part of Pike, "shall be attached to and be a part of said county until other- wise disposed of by the General Assembly", and it remained so attached until disposed of in 1825 by the creation of Peoria and Putnam counties. So it seems an open question whether the boundaries of Fulton for 1823 should be represented as on Map No. 14, or whether the county should be shown as reaching east from the 4th meridian to Lake Michigan, and north from the Illinois river to the Wisconsin line. Many such problems present themselves in considering these maps. But reference is made in each case to the act establishing the county and the interested reader may readily consult the creative act and reconstruct the map to correspond with his interpretation of its meaning. The purpose of the maps and of the descriptive matter accom- panying them is to give to those interested in this branch of the State's history, a reasonably correct idea of the evolution of the counties of Illinois. It is believed that the maps are substantially correct and that few material errors will be found in the text explaining them.


Besides the 102 counties above enumerated, 13 other counties with names assigned and boundaries fixed, have been authorized by legislative enactment but failed to complete their organizations under the several enabling acts creating them: The counties of Coffee and Michigan in 1837; Allen and Okaw in 1841; Audubon, Benton, Marquette and Milton in 1843; Highland in 1847; Oregon in 1851; Harrison in 1855; Holmes in 1857 and Lincoln in 1867. Coffee, (March 1, 1837) was identical in boundaries with Stark, except that it con- tained one more township, now the southeastern township of Henry. Michi- gan, (March 2, 1837) contained, besides the present territory of DuPage county, that part of Cook lying north of DuPage and south of Lake and McHenry. Audubon (February 6, 1843) consisted of a rectangular tract, south of Christian county, running 12 miles south and 15 miles west, from the south- east corner of Christian and included parts of the present counties of Shelby, Fayette and Montgomery. Okaw (February 4, 1841) was almost identical in area with the present county of Moultrie, but extended three miles further west, and the zig-zag line forming its southwestern boundary was somewhat different. Marquette, (February 11, 1843) from Adams county, included town- ships 1 and 2 north and 1, 2 and 3 south, ranges 5 and 6 west of the 4th prin- cipal meridian, with six sections off the east side of township 1 south, 7 west. Highland (February 27, 1847) included all the territory assigned to Marquette in 1843, together with the eastern third of townships 1 and 2 north, 7 west and six additional sections from township 1 south, 7 west. Allen, Benton and Oregon included much territory in common from the southwestern part of Sangamon, the southeastern part of Morgan and the northern part of Macoupin. Allen (February 27, 1841) contained townships 12. 13, 14 and south half of 15 north, ranges 7 and 8 west; 12 and 13 and part of 14, range 9; and the western third of 12 north, 6 west. It took nearly an equal amount of territory from each of the three counties of Macoupin, Sangamon and Morgan. Benton (March 4, 1843) extended further west and south than Allen, but not so far east; its eastern boundary being the line between Morgan and Sangamon counties. Compared with Allen it took more territory from Morgan, less from Macoupin, a considerable tract from the north- eastern part of Greene and none from Sangamon, but gained nearly enough from Morgan and Greene to balance the loss from Sangamon. Oregon (February 15, 1851) was very similar in outline to the old county of Allen, formed ten years earlier, but extended further east, taking in township 13 north, 6 west, and the eastern two-thirds of 12 north, 6 west, and its north- ern boundary extended a mile further north than that of Allen.


Another group of proposed counties in the eastern part of the State also covered much territory in common. Milton, (February 21, 1843) from the southern part of Vermilion county, included nearly one-third of the area of that county. Harrison, (February 14, 1855) mostly from the eastern part of McLean, included also portions of the present counties of Ford and Cham-


13


paign. Holmes, (January 15, 1837) similar in shape to the present county of Ford, but larger in area, reaching twelve miles further north, six miles further south and three miles further east along its southern boundary, con- tained, besides the present area of Ford, portions of Kankakee, Champaign and Vermilion. Lincoln (March 9, 1867) occupied a strip from two to eight miles wide and thirty-six miles in length, along the eastern side of Cham- paign, and a somewhat wider strip of the same length from the western side of Vermilion. This included a part of the territory assigned to Milton in 1843 and to Holmes in 1857, as Holmes had included a part of Harrison formed in 1855.

1790-ST. CLAIR AND KNOX. As counties of the Northwest Territory.


April 27-County of ST. CLAIR set off as follows: Beginning at the mouth of the Little Michilmacinack river, running thence southerly in a direct line to the mouth of the little river above Fort Massac, on the Ohio river; thence with the Ohio to its junction with the Missis- sippi; thence with the Mississippi to the mouth of the Illinois river; and so up the Illinois river to the place of beginning, with all the adjacent islands of the said Illinois and Missis- sippi rivers. St. Clair county divided into three judicial districts, viz .: Cahokia. Prairie du Rocher, and Kaskaskia; in each of which sessions of the several courts should be held during he year in the same manner as if each district represented a distinct county.


[Territorial Records of the Northwest Territory, St. Clair Papers, volume 2, page 165. ]


June 20-A county named KNOX was laid off with the following boundaries: Beginning at the Standing Stone Forks of the Great Miami river and down the said river to the conflu- ence with the Ohio river; thence with the Ohio river to the small stream or rivulet above Fort Massac: thence with the eastern line of St. Clair county to the mouth of the Little Michilmac- inack ; thence up the Illinois river to the forks or confluence of the Theokiki [Kankakee] and Chicago [Des Plaines] : thence by a line to be drawn due north to the boundary of the Terri- tory of the United States, and so far easterly upon said boundary line as that a due south line may be drawn to the place of beginning.

As a county of the Northwest Territory.


A PROCLAMATION.


Whereas, the division of the county of St. Clair into districts has not been found to give that ease and facility to the administration of justice which was expected, and the great extent of the country would render it almost impracticable were the courts to be held at one place only, it has, therefore, become necessary that it should be divided and a new county erected. Now, know ye, that by virtue of the power vested in me by the United States, I have ordered and ordained, and by these presents, do order and ordain, that all and singular, the lands lying and being within the following boundaries, viz: Beginning at the Cave spring, a little south of the New Design, and running thence due east to the line of the county of Knox, and thence south with that line to the Ohio river, thence with the Ohio to the Mississippi, thence with the Mississippi to the parallel of the said Cave spring, and thence to the place of begin- ning, shall be a county named and hereafter to be known and called by the name of RAN- DOLPH, which said county of Randolph shall have and enjoy, all and singular, jurisdiction and rights, liberties and immunities whatsoever to a county appertaining, and which any county that now is or hereafter may be erected and Jaid out shall or ought to enjoy conformably to the ordinance of Congress for the government of the Territory northwest of the river Ohio, bearing date the 15th day of July, 1787.


In testimony, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the Territory to be affixed, at Cahokia, in the county of St. Clair, the 5th day of October, in the year of our Lord 1795, and of the Independence of the United States the twentieth.

1801-ST. CLAIR AND RANDOLPH. As counties of the Territory of Indiana.


February 3-The Governor issued a proclamation altering the boundary lines of the coun- ties of Knox and Randolph and St. Clair as follows, towit: The boundary of the County of RANDOLPH shall begin on the Ohio river at a place called the Great Cave below the Saline Lick, thence by a direct north line until it intersects an east and west line running from the Missis- sippi through the Sink Hole spring, thence along the said line to the Mississippi, thence down the Mississippi to the mouth of the Ohio, and up the Ohio to the place of beginning.


The County of ST. CLAIR shall be bounded on the south by the before mentioned east and west line running from the Mississippi through the Sink Hole spring to the intersection of the north line running from the Great Cave aforesaid, thence from the said point of intersection by a direct line to the mouth of the great Kennoumic river falling into the southerly bend of Lake Michigan, thence by a direct northeast line to the division line between the Indiana and Northwestern Territories, thence along the said line to the Territorial boundary of the United States and along the said boundary line to the intersection thereof with the Mississippi, and down the Mississippi to the place of beginning.
