Early Illinois Bank in Shawneetown Built of Logs

A 1828 traveler noted Shawneetown’s log houses and a log-built bank with the chief salt trade as key activity. The town’s first white settlement began in 1800, with a jail in 1810 and courthouse in 1815. Land lots sold in 1814, but river floods and epidemics hindered growth. salt works and the Saltcreek area spurred early development and trade. The piece ends noting Mendota Sun-Bulletin raising subscription prices to $2.00 and broader rate hikes.
