Prairie Village Henry Illin a brief history sketch
A letter from 1651 describes Henry Illinois as a growing prairie village on the Minois river border with Crow Meadow prairies. It notes Henry’s landing on a prime river point, growing population to 500, a temperance movement, several church societies, a good public and a select school, a female seminary owned by Rev H Q Pendleton, and plans for growth toward regional trade. The writer highlights fertile land, eastern settlers, and a hopeful future as a river town center of commerce.
