McLean County, Illinois
.McLean County, located in the heart of Illinois, is the largest county in the state by land area, covering about 1,186 square miles. It was established on December 25, 1830, and named in honor of John McLean, a distinguished U.S. senator and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Illinois.
The region was originally inhabited by Native American tribes, such as the Kickapoo, before European settlement in the early 19th century. In the 1820s and 1830s, settlers from the East Coast and Southern states started migrating to the area, attracted by the fertile farmland, the vast prairies, and access to waterways.
Bloomington, the county seat, was founded in 1831 on an area of 60 acres, and by the late 1830s, it was known as a major transportation hub. In 1853, the Illinois Central Railroad was completed, connecting Chicago to Cairo, which further increased Bloomington's importance and led to significant growth in the region.
The county experienced rapid development during this time, particularly in agriculture. It became a major producer of corn, soybeans, and livestock, and today it continues to be a center for agriculture in Illinois. McLean County also saw the growth of industry, including the establishment of the Bloomington Watch Company and the formation of the American Passion Play, an annual production depicting the life of Jesus Christ, which began in 1926.
A fun fact about McLean County is that it is home to Illinois State University in Normal, which was founded in 1857 as the first public institution of higher education in the state. It played a pivotal role in shaping Illinois' public education system and continues to be a significant educational and economic force in the region.
