Originally the area of modern Davis County was occupied by a part of the Illinois (Illini) tribe known as the Coiracoentanon. The Illinois were subject to pressure from other tribes who were themselves being forced westwards; as a result of wars, disease and falling populations the various Illinois groups merged with other Algonquian-speaking tribes and effectively disappeared as a separate tribe by about 1850.
