Home » Illinois » History of Illinois » Illinois's Native Tribes

During the first days of Illinois there were many tribes that once resided in this small town but as this flourished and became the 21st U.S. state in 1818 with its vast growth in the south, many native tribes were pushed from the confines of the towns and the final native residents in the north left when the Black Hawk War started in 1832. It later was a great canal port location and this catapulted the population in which Chicago was to be named as Illinois largest city in 1857 and the “windy city” still is one of the biggest towns in the state today.
