18th District of Illinois  

The 18th Congressional District of Illinois contains all or parts of 20 counties in Central and Western Illinois. 

The district is a mixture of urban (Peoria, Springfield) and rural areas.  The district contains some of the most productive farmland in the world as well as maintaining a strong manufacturing base.  Several historic and scenic rivers flow through the farm fields, small towns, and large cities of the district.

The counties in the 18th District are:  Adams, Brown, Bureau, Cass, Knox, Logan, Macon, Marshall, Mason, Menard, Morgan, Peoria, Pike, Putnam, Sangamon, Schuyler, Scott, Stark, Tazewell, and Woodford.

The 18th District also contains all 11 of the counties that Abraham Lincoln represented during his one term (1847-1849) in Congress.
