Carroll County Illinois
Carroll County was offically formed in 1839, after being carved from the southernmost region of Jo Daviess County. Today, the area remains largely an agricultural community, dotted with small towns and warm, welcoming people. Bordered on the West by the "Mighty Mississippi River" and on the east by prime farmland, the county is conveniently located only two hours from Chicago, and one hour from Dubuque, Rockford and historic Galena located in our neighboring Jo Daviess County.
