Boone County's Image

Boone County, Illinois, was organized from Winnebago County on March 3, 1836, being named in honor of Kentucky's pioneer, Daniel Boone. However, its present boundaries were not gained until May 4, 1843, when a mile-wide strip was annexed to the western border from Winnebago County.

Approximately 70 miles west of Chicago, IL, Boone County is bordered to the north by Wisconsin, the south by DeKalb County, the east by McHenry County and to the west by Winnebago County.
