About Hecker, Illinois

- Early SettlementPlatted on Theodore Hilgard's land, the town was surveyed by Thomas Singleton on December 18, 1840, and its first home was built in 1849.
- A New NameResidents incorporated Freedom in 1895, then renamed it because another Illinois community already used Freedom for postal purposes.

- Land and WaterThe village covers 0.27 square miles, and its drainage ultimately belongs to the Kaskaskia River watershed.
