ILGenWeb Project: Edwards County





Edwards County was formed in 1814 and covered nearly half of eastern portion of the State of Illinois until 1824 when it assumed its present boundaries. The current county boundaries include a total of 222.66 square miles of which 222.35 square miles are land and 0.31 square miles of water.

Edwards County was named after the first governor of the territory of Illinois, Ninian Edwards. The original boundaries of the county ran from where the Bompas enters the Wabash (near Grayville), west to the third meridian (near Mt. Vernon), and north to Canada, including portions of Wisconsin and Michigan. The county seat was Palmyra, near what is now Mt. Carmel and Patton in Wabash County, Illinois.
