Lincoln was living in Illinois when he was elected. Grant was living in Illinois when he got a commission in the Union army and had a house in Galena. He was a hero in the war and did not spend much time in Illinois between the time the war was over and his nomination as President, but one might say that he was elected from Illinois. Of course, our current President was a Illinois resident when he was elected President.

Ronald Reagan, who was born in Illinois, left Illinois when he was young man, is the only other President with Illinois ties.
