Carroll County is situated along the banks of the Mississippi River and covers an area of about 466 square miles. The county seat is located in Mount Carroll, though the largest city is Savanna.

The town of Mount Carroll is particularly noteworthy for being the home of Shimer College, which was founded by Frances Wood Shimer in 1853 as the Mount Carroll Seminary.

In fact, it was once recognized as one of the state's oldest institutions of higher learning with a focus on women's education.
