Illinois the 21st state admitted to the United States of America, is the most populous and demographically diverse Midwestern state and the
fifth most populous state in the nation. With Chicago in the northeast, small industrial cities and great agricultural productivity in
central and western Illinois, and natural resources like coal, timber, and petroleum in the south, Illinois has a broad economic base.
Illinois is an important transportation hub; the Port of Chicago connects the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River via the Illinois River.
Illinois is often viewed as a microcosm of the United States; an Associated Press analysis of 21 demographic factors found Illinois
the "most average state", while Peoria has long been a proverbial social and cultural bellwether.
United States migrant settlers began arriving from Kentucky in the 1810s; Illinois achieved statehood in 1818. The future metropolis of
Chicago was founded in the 1830s on the banks of the Chicago River, one of the few natural harbors on southern Lake Michigan. Railroads and
John Deere's invention of the self-scouring steel plow made central Illinois' rich prairie into some of the world's most productive and
valuable farmlands, attracting immigrant farmers from Germany and Sweden.
Three U.S. Presidents have been elected while they were living in Illinois - Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and Barack Obama. However,
the only US President actually born in Illinois was Ronald Reagan, who was born in Tampico, raised in Dixon, and attended college at Eureka.
Lincoln is the only president buried in Illinois; he is interred at Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield. Today, Illinois demonstrates the
importance of Lincoln's legacy to the state by the official state slogan, Land of Lincoln, which is displayed on all state-issued license
plates.
