Best Answer

It was an obvious and natural outgrowth of the population expansion from the moment the Illinois Territiry was created in 1809 when less than 12,000 persons called it their home and the 1820 figure of 55,211. After statehood the next decade saw a population growth of almost 350 percentb and by 1860 it had a population of over 1.7 million. It has grown in population in every Census since it was founded.
