Jackson County is located in the southern part of the state of Illinois and was officially established on January 10, 1816. It was named in honor of General Andrew Jackson, who later became the seventh president of the United States. The county seat is Murphysboro, though the largest city in the county is Carbondale.
Jackson County's economy prospered in the 19th century, mainly due to its rich natural resources, including coal, clay, and timber. Additionally, agricultural industries, such as corn, wheat, and fruit production, also contributed significantly to its growth. Carbondale grew rapidly during the mid-19th century due to the Illinois Central Railroad passing through the region, connecting Chicago and New Orleans, and thus providing further economic opportunities.
Jackson County is home to Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC), established in 1869 as a normal school. Over the years, SIUC has played a major role in the development and growth of the region by providing higher education, employment, and cultural events.
