Illinois boundary change linked to Nathaniel Pope
Historian Elmer E. Abrahamson notes Nathaniel E Pope shifted Illinois northern boundary in the early 1800s. Pope, a delegate to Congress from the Illinois Territory, helped Illinois statehood and aided Lincoln’s 1856 Republican surge as 14 counties formed from the boundary strip. Chicago and many other cities sit within that area.
