Illinois - Land of Lincoln - Land of Warriors
Illinois is a state in the US Midwest. Lake Michigan is
to the north of the state. The capital of Illinois is
Springfield. Chicago, the third largest city in the United
States, is Illinois' only city of over a million. Illinois
received the nickname Land of Lincoln after Lincoln was
elected US President. He lived here since he was 21.
Although he was murdered in Washington, he was buried in the
state capital.
From 7500 BC BC through Lincoln to the Chicago
Metropolitan Region
Illinois settlement history dates back to 7500 BC. BC
back. The tombs of the Mississippi culture can still be
visited today. They are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Like
many areas of today's USA, Illinois was first French and
later British territory.
As in many other areas, the Indians were sometimes
violently driven out. After the construction of the railroad
and the connection to the national transport network, it
caused a high settler flow.
Shortly before the civil war, Lincoln became president.
He had lived in Illinois for some time and the state
remained loyal to the Union through the war. Slavery was
previously banned here.
In the 19th century, Chicago became an important trading
city. Many railway lines cross here and the favorable
location on Lake Michigan accelerated the process.
Wild rivers and vast grasslands
Located in the midwestern United States, Illinois is
bordered on the west by the Mississippi. In the south, the
state is bordered by the Ohio River. Illinois is riddled
with rivers throughout. The flat terrain shapes the entire
state. This helps to ensure that many streets, paths and
canals are laid out accurately.
Many rare animals feel very comfortable here. The
special, unique landscape with its rivers is a perfect
territory for many bird species. Eagles can be observed in
several areas. Those who have no bird watching experience
can book one of the popular tours to the best observation
points.
Various parks and reserves are dedicated to nature
conservation. Buffalo Rock State Park and the Cache River
State Natural Area are just two of the many protected areas.
The state was named after the indigenous tribe of
Illinois, orini. It was discovered in 1673 by the French
Louis Jolliet and Father Jacques Marquette. Her compatriot
La Salle built Fort St. Louis in 1692. In 1763 the country
was ceded to England and in 1778 it was annexed to the
United States.
The capital is Springfield, a provincial town unlike
Chicago. US President Abraham Lincoln moved to Illinois in
1830 and gave the state the nickname " Lincoln Country ".
Illinois has approximately 11 million inhabitants. Pigs,
corn, milk and coal are the country's main products.
Landscape and climate
The mostly flat and agricultural state offers
holidaymakers in the south an interesting landscape with a
high proportion of forest and many rivers and streams. The
north has a small part of Lake Michigan, there are bathing
resorts and the offshore islands are a popular destination.
The two largest rivers, Illinois and Mississippi, are also
worth a visit.
Summers are dominated by hot temperatures, in contrast to
winter, which gets very cold here. Spring and autumn offer
pleasant temperatures and are therefore the preferred travel
times.
Tourist Attractions
The cultural center of Illinois is of course the third
largest city in the United States, Chicago. Over 2.7 million
people live here. If you include the Chicago catchment area,
you can even get almost 10 million inhabitants. The capital
of Illinois, however, is the much smaller Springfield.
Chicago impresses with its extensive cultural scene and
the interesting architecture of the buildings. There are
also plenty of shopping opportunities. Springfield is known
for its Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum. There, in a
lively and captivating way, an insight into the life and
work of the 16th President of the USA is given. Lincoln
lived in Springfield for many years, where he also opened a
law firm.
