history
The first settlement took place in 1811 by a Mister Hill. The Hill Log House was the first registered building and stood on the site of what is now Carlyle. The Goshen Trace , an old Indian trail , led through the country to a salt mine. When the first paved road from Vincennes to St. Louis was built in 1820, she used this path as a foundation. Hill was also the first to introduce ferry services across the Kaskaskia River. In 1817 more settlers were added and in 1824 1,100 people are said to have lived here, 137 of them in Carlyle.
On December 27, 1814, the county was formed from parts of Washington, Bond and Fayette Counties and named after DeWitt Clinton , a mayor of New York and later governor of New York state.
In 1857 a railway line was laid in the area by the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad and by 1878 several thousand people were already living in the county. The next leap in settlement began in 1911 with the oil boom.
