Livingston County |
Livingston county was created in 1837 and was originally inhabited by about 450 farmers and small merchants. It is located in central Illinois northeast of Bloomington.
A lush agricultural area, nearly 85% of the county is devoted to cropland. Irrigation is provided, in part, by the Vermilion River which flows through the county on its way to the Illinois River.
For outdoor lovers, Humiston Woods Nature Preserve on Route 23 provides six trails that meander through prairies and woods and along side rivers, creeks and ponds. A dazzling in-season wildflower show awaits the hiker.
The county seat is Pontiac and the county population on July 1, 1999, was 39,639, an increase of 338 over the 1990 census.
