==History==
{{more citations needed|section|date=August 2022}}
Jo Daviess County was formed in 1827 out of [[Henry County, Illinois|Henry]] and [[Putnam County, Illinois|Putnam]] counties. It is named for Maj. [[Joseph Hamilton Daveiss]], [[United States District Attorney]] for [[Kentucky]], who was killed in 1811 at the [[Battle of Tippecanoe]].<ref>{{cite book | url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_9V1IAAAAMAAJ | title=The Origin of Certain Place Names in the United States | publisher=Govt. Print. Off. | author=Gannett, Henry | year=1905 | pages=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_9V1IAAAAMAAJ/page/n168 169]}}</ref> The local pronunciation is "Davis". Jo Daviess County was founded exclusively by immigrants from [[New England]]. These were old stock "[[Yankee]]" immigrants, meaning they were descended from the English [[Puritans]] who settled New England in the 1600s. The completion of the [[Erie Canal]] caused a surge in New England immigration to what was then the [[Northwest Territory]].

The end of the [[Black Hawk War]] led to an additional surge of immigration, once again coming almost exclusively from the six [[New England]] states as a result of overpopulation combined with land shortages in that region. Some of these later settlers were from [[upstate New York]] and had parents who had moved to that region from [[New England]] shortly after the [[American Revolution|Revolutionary War]]. New Englanders and New England transplants from upstate New York were the vast majority of Jo Daviess County's inhabitants during the first several decades of its history. These settlers were primarily members of the [[Congregational Church]] though due to the [[Second Great Awakening]] many of them had converted to [[Methodism]] and some had become [[Baptists]] before coming to what is now Jo Daviess County. The Congregational Church subsequently went through many divisions and some factions, including those in Jo Daviess County that affiliated with the [[Church of Christ]] and the [[United Church of Christ]].

As a result of this heritage the vast majority of inhabitants in Jo Daviess County, much like antebellum [[New England]] were overwhelmingly in favor of the abolitionist movement during the decades leading up to the [[American Civil War|Civil War]].<ref>''The History of Jo Daviess County, Illinois: Containing a History of the County, Its Cities, Towns, Etc., a Biographical Directory of Its Citizens, War Record of Its Volunteers in the Late Rebellion'' by H.F. Kett & Company, 1878.</ref>

In the late 1880s and early 1890s [[Irish American|Irish]] and [[German American|German]] migrants began moving into Jo Daviess County, most of these later immigrants did not move directly from [[Ireland]] and [[Germany]], but rather from other areas in the [[Midwestern United States|Midwest]] where they had been living, particularly the state of [[Ohio]].<ref>The Early History of Northern Illinois by Charles Knapp Carpenter Ogle County Federation of Women's Clubs, 1948</ref>

===Major highways===
In Illinois, US 20 is designated the General Ulysses S. Grant Highway (often abbreviated the U.S. Grant Memorial Highway) and is the longest route in the United States.<ref>[https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/infrastructure/longest.cfm Ask the Rambler: What Is The Longest Road in the United States?] Source published: June 27, 2017; accessed: July 20, 2022.</ref> In eastern Jo Daviess County US 20 is one of the few areas that remain two-lane across the entire stretch of US 20. The road between Dubuque and Stockton was once known as the most dangerous stretch of road because of the hills and curves flanked by cliffs and valleys. Travelers were greeted with signs reminding them to drive carefully as they entered this stretch of road.
