LaSalle County was formed on January 15, 1831 from part of Putnam County and part of the Illinois Free Territory. It was named after Robert Cavelier de La Salle , a French conqueror. La Salle was the first white man to set foot on this land. He drove down the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico , took possession of the land for France or King Louis XIV and named it Louisiana . He and two other French merchants built Fort Crèvecœur on the Illinois River near today's Peoria in 1680 on the territory of LaSalle County and in 1662 Fort St. Louis on Starved Rock . In 1857 the county was already served daily by 2 trains on the Illinois Central Railroad .
