History of Monroe County, IL
Indigenous peoples lived along the Mississippi River and related waterways for thousands of years before European contact. French Jesuit priests in the Illinois Country encountered the Kaskaskia and Cahokia , bands of the Illiniwek confederacy. The first European settlement in this area was St. Philippe, founded in 1723 by Philip Francois Renault , a French courtier , on his concession about three miles north of Fort de Chartres , on the Mississippi River . This early agricultural community quickly produced a surplus, and grains were sold to the lower Louisiana colony for years. After the American Revolution , Monroe County was formed in 1816 out of Randolph and St. Clair Counties , as the 8th county created from the then Illinois Territory .
