s: "Centennial Record"
Published 1881, 384 pages
“
It will be found, by consulting the book,
that in settling Sangamon county every one of the original thirteen States are represented, also every State
organized before Illinois; and that the descendents of the early settlers of this county may be found in every State
organized since Illinois; also in the District of Columbia, and in every Territory belonging to the United States
government. Remarkable as it may appear, there is not a State or Territory in our whole nation but has some chord
that centers in Sangamon county. Many European countries might be included also. Thus it will be seen that the
homogeneous character of our whole people could not be more forcibly illustrated than by this volume.”

Sangamon County was formed in 1821 out of Madison and Bond Counties. The county was named for the Sangamon River, which runs through it. The origin of the name of the river is unknown; among several explanations is the theory that is comes from the Pottawatomie word Sain-guee-mon (pronounced "sang gä mun") meaning "where there is plenty to eat."
Prior to being elected President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln represented Sangamon County in the Illinois Legislature. Lincoln, along with several other legislators, was instrumental in securing the Sangamon County seat, Springfield, as the state's capital. Sangamon County was also among the area represented by Lincoln when he served in the US House of Representatives.
Another legislator who represented Sangamon County was Colonel Edmund Dick Taylor, also known as "Father of the Greenback". The prominent financiers and industrialists Jacob Bunn and John Whitfield Bunn were based in Springfield, Sangamon County, Illinois, as well as in Chicago, during the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century. The careers of these men and the people with whom they collaborated helped to shape much of the history and development of Sangamon County, Illinois.
