Illinois is divided into several dioceses and so there has never been a 'Bishop of Illinois'. The oldest diocese in Illinois is Chicago which was established as the 'Diocese of Chicago' in 1843 from territory taken from the Diocese of Saint Louis, Missouri and the Diocese of Vincennes, Indiana. The diocese was elevated to an archdiocese in 1880. The first Bishop of Chicago was Bishop William J. Quarter. Born in Ireland in 1806 he was a Priest of the Diocese of New York. He died as Bishop of Chicago in 1848.
