The first permanent settlement in Illinois was Cahokia, established by French colonists in 1699. Located near the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, it became a significant trading hub. Cahokia was part of the larger French colonial presence in the region, and its establishment marked the beginning of European settlement in Illinois.
French settlers moved to the area of Illinois. they built churches and fort for fur trading.
The first to settle in Illinois were the native Americans. The first Europeans were Father Marquette and Louis Joliet.http://www.peoriahistoricalsociety.org/!/History-Of-Peoria/First-European-Settlement-In-Ill
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.
Peoria is the oldest European settlement in Illinois. It was settled in 1691.
The Settlement House Movement began in Chicago, Illinois in 1889.
