Kaskaskia was the capital city of Illinois from 1818-1819
The first capital of Illinois was moved from Kaskaskia to Vandalia because some people wished the capital to be further inside of the state. They also hoped that by moving the capital city it would encourage more people to move to other parts of the state.
Illinois was admitted to the Union on December 3, 1818 becoming the 21st state to join the union. Kaskaskie was the capital city until 1819 when the capital was moved to Vandalia. In 1837, the state legislature moved the state capital to Springfield. Springfield is the capital city in Illinois and has been since 1837.
"Wishing to site the capital in the state's interior, the first General Assembly petitioned Congress for a grant of suitable land. Congress offered, and the state accepted, a land parcel on the Kaskaskia River about eighty miles northeast of Kaskaskia. This location, which would be named Vandalia, Illinois. In 1820, with the completion of the new, or "Second", capitol, Vandalia became the capital of the state."
