Brown County, located in the great state of Illinois, was established on February 1, 1839, and named after General Jacob Brown, a prominent soldier during the War of 1812. The county seat is Mount Sterling, which was laid out in 1834 by Charles Scott, William Kale, and John G. Robinson. Brown County forms part of the Western Illinois region and covers an area of approximately 307 square miles.

In the early 19th century, the area was primarily dominated by the Illinois and the Kickapoo Native American tribes. The first Europeans to venture into the area were French traders, followed by a wave of European settlers in the 1820s, attracted by fertile land for farming.

Brown County played a modest role during the Civil War, as several regiments and companies of soldiers enlisted from the county. Agriculture provided the primary source of livelihood for the earliest inhabitants, who were largely self-sufficient. As the county grew, development followed, with schools, churches, and infrastructures built to cater to the growing population.

A fun fact about Brown County is that it is home to the Siloam Springs State Park, a popular outdoor recreational area spread over 3,323 acres. The park offers a variety of activities such as hiking, picnicking, fishing, and camping, and is known for its natural beauty and mineral springs.
