Outline of Illinois

Illinois, pronounced ihl uh NOY, has more people than any other state in the Midwestern region of the United States. About two-thirds of the people of Illinois live in and around Chicago, one of the world's leading industrial and transportation centers. In addition, millions of Illinoisans live in the smaller cities and on the farms that dot the state's gently rolling plains. These plains cover most of Illinois, and have given the state one of its nicknames, the Prairie State.

The people of Illinois also call their state the Land of Lincoln. They are proud of the fact that Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, lived most of his life in their state. He was buried in Springfield, the state capital.

Many other famous people helped make history in Illinois. These people included industrialists Cyrus H. McCormick and George M. Pullman; writers Gwendolyn Brooks and Carl Sandburg; architects Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright; reformers Jane Addams and Florence Kelley; and political leader Stephen A. Douglas. Ronald Reagan, the 40th president of the United States, was born in Tampico, Illinois.

In 1942, Enrico Fermi and other scientists at the University of Chicago made a major advance in the development of the atomic bomb. In laboratories under the university's football stands, they produced the first controlled chain reaction that created nuclear energy. Today, Illinois ranks as an international center for the study of the atom. Scientists from throughout the world come to the state to do research at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. This laboratory, near Chicago, contains one of the largest atom smashers in the world.

The land of Illinois, part of the great Midwestern Corn Belt, has helped make the state rich. Illinois ranks among the leading states in agriculture. And beneath its fertile plains lie the country's largest beds of bituminous (soft) coal. But most Illinois workers are employed in service industries, which include education, health care, and retail trade. Illinois also ranks among the top manufacturing states. The production of machinery is the leading manufacturing activity in Illinois.

The fur trade with Indians first made Illinois commercially important during the late 1600's. Traders paddled canoes filled with furs down the Chicago River to Lake Michigan. The pelts were then transported in wooden sailing ships. Today, ocean freighters arrive from the Atlantic Ocean through the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes, and carry Illinois products to many parts of the world. Busy river barges transport cargo on the Illinois Waterway, which links with the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico.

The fine recreation facilities of Illinois attract millions of visitors each year. Picnickers, hikers, and bicycle riders enjoy Cook County's forest preserves and lakefront. Hunters shoot deer, pheasants, quail, rabbits, and turkeys in Illinois's hunting grounds. Lake Michigan and many smaller lakes throughout the state are popular for boating, fishing, and swimming. The Mississippi, Ohio, and Wabash rivers, along the borders of Illinois, are major recreation sites. The Shawnee Hills of southern Illinois and the rolling hills of Jo Daviess County in northwestern Illinois have beautiful scenery.

The first Europeans in the Illinois region were probably the French explorers Louis Jolliet and Jacques Marquette, who arrived in 1673. The French settlers who came after Jolliet and Marquette named the region for the Illinois, or Illini, Indians. These Indians formed a group of united tribes that lived in the area before the European settlers came. The Indians called themselves Iliniwek (superior men). The name Illinois came from the French settlers' spelling and pronunciation of Iliniwek.
