About the Book

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pages: 103. Not illustrated. Chapters: Mount Vernon, Illinois. Excerpt: Mount Vernon, Illinois - Mount Vernon is located at .

Mt. Vernon is located on high ground between Casey Creek and the Big Muddy River, which join south of the town in what is now Rend Lake. In pre-settlement times the area around these waterways was a swamp, a heavily forested area that was waist-deep in water during much of the winter and during wet summers. Mt.

Derelict L&N rail station Mt. Vernon was founded in 1817 by Zadok Casey, who was elected to the State Senate in 1822 and was elected Lieutenant Governor in 1833. He served in the U.S. Congress between 1833 and 1843. The town was named for George Washington's plantation, Mount Vernon, which was named for Edward Vernon, a British naval hero. When the town was founded, there was no road to it. Travellers had to get there by either following the high ground from the north or crossing the swamps from the south. In the early 1800s the Goshen Road crossed Illinois in a northwesterly direction from Old Shaw...
