The first European settlement in Illinois occurred in the late 17th century, primarily in the southern part of the state, with French explorers and settlers establishing communities near the Mississippi River. The area around Cahokia was one of the earliest European settlements, founded in 1699. Over time, European settlement expanded northward and westward, but the initial areas of settlement were concentrated in the southern and central regions of Illinois.
