 Illinois, known as the "Prairie State" and the "Land of Lincoln", joined the Union on December 3, 1818 as the 21th state. The word 'illinois' is from the Algonquin Indian word for "tribe of superior men" and was the name given to the Illinois River by explorer de La Salle.
Illinois is bordered on the east by Lake Michigan (Michigan water border) and Indiana, the south by the Ohio River with Kentucky, the western border is the Mississippi River with Missouri and Iowa, and on the north by Wisconsin. Illinois is in the East North Central Region (US Census Bureau).

The World's Columbian Exposition was held in Chicago, May through October 1893. Known as "The White City" for the white stucco that covered most of the buildings and the use of street lights to extend the fair time into the evening, the Exposition served to celebrate the 400th Anniversary of Christopher Columbus' Discovery of America and as a showcase of the rebuilding of the city of after the disasterous 1871 fire. Over 27 million people attended the Exposition, about half the 1893 US population.
Frederick Childe Hassam (b. 1856; Dorchester, MA, d. 1935) was an American Impressionist.
