Macoupin County IL Towns
Macoupin County Place Names extracted from Illinois Place
Names, compiled by James N. Adams, Illinois Historical Society, 1989. "In
this appendix one asterisk means that the name is both a locality and township
or precinct, while two asterisks indicate a township or precinct only.
If the name is in bold face, the locality is on the county line, partly
in the county given; and if in bold face with one asterisk it is a locality
and township or precinct on the county line. Should the county have an
Indian name, you may determine its origin by consulting Virgil J. Vogel's
Indian Place Names in Illinois, (Springfield, 1963)."
