"History is the witness of the times, the torch of truth, the life of memory, the teacher of life, the messenger of antiquity."
- Cicero More Quotes
Pike County was formed on January 31, 1821 and its current county boundaries which total 828 square miles were established by 1825. Pike County is named for Pike County, Kentucky which in turn was named for Zebulon Montgomery Pike (1779-1813), a general of the War of 1812, an explorer of the Louisiana Purchase and the discoverer of Pikes Peak in Colorado. Be sure to also visit the Pike County Illinois Chamber of Commerce.
