About Quincy, Illinois
Quincy is a city of 39,463 people on the Mississippi River and the county seat of Adams County. After the War of 1812, the government gave western land to veterans, and in 1819 Peter Flinn got a tract from veteran Mark McGowan. Flinn sold 160 acres to John Wood of Moravia, New York, for $60, and Wood started a settlement called Bluffs. In 1825 the town took the name Quincy, and the county became Adams, both for President John Quincy Adams.
Quincy was incorporated as a town in June 1834 and as a city in 1840, when Ebenezer Moore became its first mayor. Steamboats and trains made it a stop for immigrants heading west, and Germans began settling on its south side in the 1840s. The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad was founded in 1855, and the city grew from just under 7,000 people in 1850 to 24,000 by 1870. That put Quincy ahead of Peoria as the second-largest city in Illinois.
“Quincy begins at the Mississippi, hurdles steep bluffs, levels out on the uplands, and trails off into woods and farmlands.”
- 12,000 at the 1858 debateQuincy sits across the river from Missouri, then a slave state, and slavery split the town. In 1858 it hosted the sixth debate between Senator Stephen A. Douglas and Abraham Lincoln, his challenger. A crowd of 12,000 came, and Quincy was the largest town where the two men debated.
- A refuge from MissouriAfter Missouri Executive Order 44 forced the Mormons out of that state, large numbers of Latter-day Saints crossed the river to Quincy. There were far more refugees than townspeople, yet the town fed and housed them. Joseph Smith later took them 40 miles upriver to Nauvoo. Quincy also gave shelter in 1838 to the Potawatomi, who were being forced from Indiana to Kansas.
- An Underground Railroad stopRichard Eells, a firm abolitionist, built his house in Quincy in 1835. He hid people who had escaped slavery on their way to Chicago, and the house became one of the Underground Railroad's major stops.
- The governor stayed homeJohn Wood was lieutenant governor when Governor William H. Bissell died in office in 1860, so the founder of Quincy became governor. Wood was busy with his business and with building his mansion, and the legislature let him govern from Quincy. The John Wood Mansion joined the National Register in 1970.
- Tornado of April 12, 1945Hours after word of President Roosevelt's death reached Quincy on April 12, 1945, a tornado tore through downtown and blew the roof off the courthouse, ruining it. Some residents joked that FDR and God were fighting over the power. A new courthouse took five years to finish.
