| Description |
View over Illinois on flight from Kansas City to Chicago Midway. This is roughly 10 miles east of Kewanee, Illinois. Kentville Road and 1400 St. E. intersect in the center of the lefthand side. Bureau County is a county located in the U.S. state of Illinois. As of the 2010 census, the population was 34,978.[1] Its county seat is Princeton. Bureau County is part of the Ottawa-Peru, IL Micropolitan Statistical Area, which is also included in the Chicago-Naperville, IL-IN-WI Combined Statistical Area. Hennepin Canal Parkway State Park is located partly in this county. Bureau County was organized out of Putnam County in 1837. It is named for Michel or Pierre Bureau. Their original surname was probably Belleau, but local aboriginals may have had difficulty pronouncing the "l" sound. One or both of the brothers ran a trading post near where Big Bureau Creek empties into the Illinois River from 1776 until 1780 or 1790. Like so many other areas in the Midwest, this county was on a "line" of the Underground Railroad. There was a "station" at the home of Owen Lovejoy in Princeton, as well as several other locations throughout the county. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bureau_County,_Illinois en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_... |
