history
Champaign County was established in 1833 and was formerly part of Vermilion County. The county and the seat of the county administration were named after the Champaign County in Ohio and its capital Urbana , since the member of the state parliament who introduced the application for the establishment of a county came from this part of Ohio.
The county's development was greatly advanced with the arrival of the Illinois Central Railroad , which linked Chicago and Cairo . Even more important for the development of the county was the settlement of the "Land-Grant" University , the University of Illinois in 1867.
With the closure of the Chanute Air Training Center in Rantoul in the 1990s, the northern part of the county suffered a major economic and demographic setback.
Although Republicans had had a district majority since the mid-19th century, the 2000 elections were the first time the Democrats won a majority they have been able to defend since then. In the 2004 US presidential election , Champaign County was one of only 15 of 102 counties in Illinois where John Kerry won a majority (50.5 percent) of the vote.
