The State of Illinois

ILLINOIS, one of the East North Central states of the U.S., bordered on the N by Wisconsin, on the NE by Lake Michigan, on the E by Indiana, on the S by Kentucky, and on the W by Missouri and Iowa. The Wabash R. forms part of the E boundary, the Ohio R. forms the S boundary, and the Mississippi R. forms the W boundary.

Illinois entered the Union on Dec. 3, 1818, as the 21st state. It is known for its associations with Abraham Lincoln. The state was transformed into a leading manufacturing region in the late 19th century but continued as a major producer of farm commodities. Chicago, a great metropolis on Lake Michigan, is Illinois’s principal economic and cultural center. The name of the state is taken from that of the Illinois, or Illini, Indian Confederation. Illinois is called the Prairie State.

Illinois, with an area of 150,007 sq km (57,918 sq mi), is the 25th largest state in the U.S.; 1.4% of its land area is owned by the federal government. The state is roughly rectangular in shape, and its extreme dimensions are about 610 km (about 380 mi) from N to S and about 340 km (about 210 mi) from E to W. Elevations range from 85 m (279 ft), near the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers in the extreme S, to 376 m (1235 ft), atop Charles Mound, in the NW part of the state. The approximate mean elevation is 183 m (600 ft). About 3950 sq km (about 1525 sq mi) of Lake Michigan is in Illinois.
