'''Mackinaw''' is a village in [[Tazewell County, Illinois|Tazewell County]], [[Illinois]], [[United States]], and is part of the [[Peoria, Illinois]] [[Peoria metropolitan area|Metropolitan Statistical Area]]. Its population was 1,950 at the 2010 census.<ref>{{cite web|url =http://censusviewer.com/city/IL/Mackinaw|title=2010 Census|publisher=Census Viewer|access-date=October 27, 2013}}</ref>

==History==
The village lies within, but is politically independent of [[Mackinaw Township, Tazewell County, Illinois|Mackinaw Township]]. Both take their name from the nearby [[Mackinaw River]]. Mackinaw (sometimes spelled Mackinac) is derived from the [[Anishinaabe language|Ojibwe]] word ''mikinaak'' meaning "turtle".''<ref>{{cite book |last=Nichols |first=John D. |last2=Nyholm |first2=Earl |title=A Concise Dictionary of Minnesota Ojibwe |publisher=University of Minnesota Press |location=Minneapolis |year=1995}}</ref>''

Mackinaw was the first county seat of Tazewell County, from 1827 to 1831 when it moved to [[Pekin, Illinois|Pekin]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Soady |first=Fred W. |date=1964 |title=''In These Waste Places'': Pekin, Illinois, 1824–1849 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/40190022 |journal=Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society |volume=57 |issue=2 |pages=156–171 |issn=0019-2287}}</ref> The courthouse was built for $125 by Amasa Stout.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Williams |first=Frank J. |last2=Williams |first2=Virginia |last3=Bates |first3=William Henry |title=Souvenir of Early and Notable Events in the History of the North West Territory, Illinois, and Tazewell County, including the Names of those who have Served the County in Various Official Capacities. |url=https://jstor.org/stable/community.33273062 |journal=Document |language=English |JSTOR=community.33273062}}</ref>
