 Randolph County's motto, "Where Illinois Began", is symbolic of the historical importanT role this area has played in the settlement of our state. Historians often begin their discussions about early Illinois with the first French traders who established Kaskaskia village in the early 1700s. Randolph County is home to a significant number of historic sites celebrating this heritage. More recently, Randolph County earned the prestigious #3 ranking in the Best Places to Live in Rural America, as published by Progressive Farmer. Numerous scenic and outdoor recreational attractions, including the World Shooting & Recreation Complex, contribute greatly toward the overall quality of life and provide unlimited opportunities for tourism. Primary industry in Randolph County includes agriculture and agribusiness, grain elevator and milling operations, coal mining and stone quarrying, food processing and packaging. Randolph County's population has grown to 33,028 in 2006 and continues to expand today. The County is represented by 14 municipalities including Baldwin, Chester, Coulterville, Ellis Grove, Evansville, Kaskaskia, Percy, Prairie du Rocher, Red Bud, Rockwood, Ruma, Sparta, Steeleville and Tilden.
