The names of the towns in west-centralIllinois are as familiar as the roads that con-nect them, but the stories behind thosenames reveal the area's unique history.Some settlements named after their
founders, such as Galesburg, or theirfounder's hometowns, such as Abingdon.Others, such as Maquon and Dahinda,
illustrate the Native American influence inthe area, or trace their names toEuropean heritage, such as Galva andBishop Hill.Still others, such as Roseville and
Williamsfield, picked up their names whenthe railroad came to town.Edward Callary, an associate professor
of English at Northern Illinois University,has collected all of these stories in "PlaceNames of Illinois," soon to be released byUniversity of Illinois Press.The entries provide information on pro-
nunciation and etymology when appro-priate, as well as the community's loca-tions and insight into the historical andcultural context of place names all overthe state.Here are summaries of the names of
the places right under our noses, culledfrom Callary's book:
ABINGDON: Founded in 1836 byAbraham D. Swartz and named for hisformer home of Abingdon in HartfordCounty, Md., which was named forAbingdon, Oxfordshire, England. Thepost office was established in 1837 asOregon, changed to Hartford in 1839and then changed to Abingdon in 1852.
ALTONA: Founded in 1834 as La Pier,but the post office was established in1844 as Walnut Grove and changed toReno in 1868. The station on theCentral Military Tract Railroad wasAltona, though, and just 11 days afterbeing established as Reno, it waschanged to Altona.
DAHINDA: Laid out in 1888 on thesite of a former Native American village,Dahinda takes its name from HenryWadsworth Longfellow's "The Song ofHiawatha," in which Dahinda is theOjibwa name of the bullfrog.
GILSON: Named after one of itsfounders – James Gilson. The postoffice was established in 1857.
KNOXVILLE: Known as Hendersonuntil 1832, when it was renamed for itslocation in Knox County. It was thecounty seat until 1873. The post officewas established in 1830 as KnoxCourthouse; the name was changed toKnoxville in 1844.
MAQUON: The village was laid out in1837 and originally was calledBennington, perhaps after Bennington,Vt. The name was changed to Maquonin 1858, probably from a generalAlgonquin word recorded as A-ma-quon-sippi, which was translated intoEnglish as Spoon River.
