Mason County is a charming and historically rich county located in the heart of Illinois, USA. It was founded on January 20, 1841, after being carved out of Tazewell County. The county was named in honor of George Mason, an important statesman and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, who was also known as the "Father of the Bill of Rights."

The first European settlers arrived in the area in the early 1800s, primarily coming from Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Agriculture played an essential role in the growth of the region. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the fertile soil of the surrounding land attracted a growing number of farmers who played a significant role in building up the thriving agricultural-based economy.

The county seat and the largest city is Havana, founded by Ross and Archer Harris in 1837. Havana and other communities within Mason County experienced significant growth and development during their early years due to the construction of the Illinois Central Railroad and the Illinois River, both key conduits for trade and transportation during that time period.

One interesting fact about Mason County is that it is home to the Chautauqua National Wildlife Refuge. This crucial habitat for migratory birds provides a sanctuary for a diverse range of wildlife species and serves as an essential stopover point during the migration season. The refuge attracts countless tourists, birdwatchers, and nature enthusiasts every year, offering a splendid opportunity to observe and appreciate the natural beauty of the region.
