history
In 1807 the first settlers from the south came to this area and built Fort Hill and Fort Jones to protect against the indigenous people. Settlement was slow and in 1816 there were just 25 log cabins. The first log cabins were built in 1815 on the site of what would later become Greenville.
Bond County was formed from parts of Madison County on January 4, 1817, before the new state of Illinois was founded. It was named after Shadrach Bond (1773-1832), the first governor of Illinois (1818-1822).
The seat of the county administration was first in Hills Station and from 1817 to 1821 in Perryville . He was then relocated to Greenville, where the first courthouse was built in 1822. In 1873 the first students were able to leave Greenville High School .
