About Bloomington, IL

Kickapoo Native Americans first inhabited the area that later became Bloomington. The first non-native settlers began coming to the area in the 1820s. McLean County was established in 1820, and Bloomington was to be the county seat. Then, James Allin donated 60 acres of his land for the new site for Bloomington, which was divided and auctioned off. Bloomington was officially incorporated in 1831.

The new landowners farmed the land, and the community turned into a popular place to trade and do business. Abraham Lincoln even visited the village while he was a lawyer living in Springfield. Today, more than 78,000 people call Bloomington home.
