Named for the Illinois Indians, this state is known as the "Land of
Lincoln," because it's where the 16th president was raised. Illinois
became the 21st state in 1818, and its capital is Springfield. At the
northern edge of the state on Lake Michigan is Chicago, the nation's
third largest city. The state flower is the native violet.
