Immigration patterns
The assertion that German immigration to Jo Daviess County didn't ramp up until the 1880s is patently incorrect. This is borne out by the presence of German-Americans on Civil War muster rolls for Illinois regiments. The "History" section in this article needs a rework. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.91.229.28 (talk) 04:58, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Pronunciation
Having grown up in the area, it's been my experience that the the Daviess portion of the name is often actually pronounced more as Da-vie-s instead of Davis. JesseG 04:53, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I grew up nearby, and whenever there was a severe weather warning, the TV announcer would always say it like "Daveys," like, more than one boy named Davy.

Wondering if the original author would like to comment on this. --Uac1530 06:43, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I moved to the area in March '06. On WCCI (Savanna, Carroll County, IL), announcers pronounce it "Jo Davis" and I've overheard locals in and near JD County pronounce it either "Jo Davis" or even drop the O entirely and say "J'Davis".  I'll go with my own observations and those of the webmasters here: "Those who have lived in the area all their lives pronounce Daviess as “Davis,” but you will often hear it spoken as “Davees” by those who have not grown up here." Jaguara 00:21, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Rodden, Illinois
Hey I was curious if anyone knew about anything Rodden, Illinois. You can search it on mapquest... I know there is a Rodden Road outside of Galena. I've also come across some genealogical information on people being born from or dieing in "Rodden, Illinois". I also read that there used to be a train station or something in Rodden, but beyond this stuff I have no clue.

If it merits it, I think it would be great to have an article on Wikipedia about it. But first I need info. If someone could leave a message on my talk page or e-mail me I would really appreciate it! Thanks! Chupper 14:52, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

History -
"The local pronunciation, as in "Davis", is probably an echo of the correct pronunciation and spelling."

This is unsubstaniated and not necessarily true. Cairo, Illinois is definitely not an echo of the correct pronunciation of Cairo, Egypt.

How is it pronounced in the other states that have a Daviess county?

This should read "The local pronunciation is "Davis."

Why isn't Jo Daviess County included in the Dubuque, IA MSA, even though East Dubuque is part of the Dubuque, IA area?
I am unsure why Jo Daviess County, IL isn't contained within the Dubuque, IA MSA, even though Jo Daviess County is adjacent to the city of Dubuque, IA and the city of East Dubuque, IL within Jo Daviess County is considered part of the Dubuque, IA area.

There are also some U.S. counties with less population than Jo Daviess County, IL that are contained within a Metropolitan Statistical Area.

There are also clear economic ties between Jo Daviess County, IL and the city of Dubuque, IA to support the addition of Jo Daviess County to the Dubuque, IA MSA.

Chicagoland
The whole county is considered part of Chicagoland for census purposes. It is easier to add up county populations, even if not all of the county is urbanized. (It can be misleading, I agree). If you have a source that says how much of the southern part of Kankakee's economic activity is attributable to Watseka (pop. 5,670) compared to Chicago (pop. 2,842,518), please restore the claim and add the source. Otherwise, perhaps a statement focusing on the low population density (with a source) would be the best way to convey the rural nature of southern Kankakee county. Thanks.

Talk:Lake County, Illinois

This article contains much interesting information; however, there is a date conlict. The article states that the Half Day Inn (constructed in 1843) was older than the Caspar Ott Cabin, built in 1837. Although the Half Day Inn was torn down several years ago, in order to be fair, someone should still research these dates further and correct the mistake. Thanks.

This article identifies cities, towns and villages in Lake County but is mostly identifying only those which are entirely within Lake County. There are many others which have some or most of their boundaries within Lake County which should be listed here as they are on other county listings. I will put together a list of the missing municipalities and edit accordingly at a future time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.98.233.142 (talk) 15:03, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

farming became a large-scale corporate enterprise, with small family farms rapidly disappearing?
To some extent, yes, but not to the extent implied in that text. With no reference to justify the claims, it would be more accurate to describe the general impression, which is that many of the smaller family farms have been absorbed into larger family operations, along with some consolidation into large-scale corporate entities.

Source for material
My great-grandfather, Wilbur Theodore Norton, at one time the editor of the Alton Evening Telegraph newspaper, wrote a history book that likely would contain material appropriate for this article and perhaps for the Illinois article as well. I do not have a copy, but surely one can be found. The book is: Centennial History of Madison County, Illinois and Its People 1812 to 1912. Edited and Compiled by W. T. Norton.

Hyde Park, Chicago

Hyde Park is a neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, located on and near the shore of Lake Michigan 7 mi south of the Loop. It is one of the city’s 77 municipally recognized community areas.

Hyde Park’s boundaries and subdivisions have several local definitions. The community area’s formal boundaries are 51st Street (signed locally as Hyde Park Boulevard) on the north, Midway Plaisance on the south, Washington Park on the west, and Lake Michigan on the east. Another local definition considers a section to the north between 47th Street and Hyde Park Boulevard to be in Hyde Park, although this area is, according to municipal boundaries, the southern half of the Kenwood community area. As such, it is often called “South Kenwood.” Hyde Park and South Kenwood are also sometimes collectively termed “Hyde Park-Kenwood” (as in the name of the epoynmous Historic District, for example). Meanwhile, the portion of Hyde Park that lies between the Illinois Central Railroad tracks and the lake is usually referred to as “East Hyde Park” and is usually also taken to include “Indian Village,” the small southeastern corner of Kenwood.

Hyde Park is home to the University of Chicago and a large number of seminaries: Catholic Theological Union, the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago, McCormick Theological Seminary, and Chicago Theological Seminary. The Griffin Museum of Science and Industry and two of Chicago's four historic sites listed in the original 1966 National Register of Historic Places—Chicago Pile-1, the world's first artificial nuclear reactor, and Robie House—are also in the neighborhood. In the early 21st century, Hyde Park received national attention for its association with U.S. President Barack Obama, who, before running for president, was a Senior Lecturer for twelve years at the University of Chicago Law School, an Illinois state senator representing the area, and U.S senator from Illinois. The Barack Obama Presidential Center is currently under construction in Jackson Park, which borders Hyde Park.

Founding and early years
In 1853, Paul Cornell, a real estate speculator and cousin of Cornell University founder Ezra Cornell, purchased 300 acre of land between 51st and 55th streets along the shore of Lake Michigan, with the idea of attracting other Chicago businessmen and their families to the area. The land was located seven miles south of Downtown Chicago in a rural area that enjoyed weather tempered by the lake – cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. It was conveniently located near the Illinois Central Railroad, which had been constructed two years earlier. Cornell successfully negotiated land in exchange for a railroad station at 53rd Street. Hyde Park quickly became a suburban retreat for affluent Chicagoans who wanted to escape the noise and congestion of the rapidly growing city.

In 1857, the Hyde Park House, an upscale hotel, was built on the shore of Lake Michigan near the 53rd Street railroad station. For two decades, the Hyde Park House served as a focal point of Hyde Park social life. During this period, it was visited or lived in by many prominent guests, including Mary Todd Lincoln, who lived there with her children for two and a half months in the summer of 1865 (shortly after her husband was assassinated). The Hyde Park House burned down in an 1879 fire. The Sisson Hotel was built on the site in 1918 and was eventually converted into a condominium building (the Hampton House).

In 1861, Hyde Park was incorporated into an independent township (called Hyde Park Township). Its boundaries were Pershing Road (39th Street) on the north, 138th Street on the south, State Street on the west, and Lake Michigan and the Indiana state line on the east. The territory of the township encompassed most of what is now the South Side of Chicago. Hyde Park Township remained independent of Chicago until it was annexed to the city in 1889. After annexation, the definition of Hyde Park as a Chicago neighborhood was restricted to the historic core of the former township, centered on Cornell's initial development between 51st and 55th streets near the lakefront.

The Hyde Park Herald, the neighborhood's community newspaper, was established in 1882 and continues to be published weekly.

Growth and notability

In 1891, two years after the city of Chicago annexed Hyde Park, the University of Chicago was established in the neighborhood through the philanthropy of John D. Rockefeller and the leadership of William Rainey Harper.

In 1893, Hyde Park hosted the World's Columbian Exposition (a world's fair marking the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in the New World). The World's Columbian Exposition brought fame to the neighborhood, which gave rise to an inflow of new residents and spurred new development that gradually started transforming Hyde Park into a more urban area. However, since most of the structures built for the fair were temporary, it left few direct traces in the neighborhood. The only major structure from the fair that is still standing today is Charles Atwood's Palace of Fine Arts, which has since been converted into the Museum of Science and Industry.

In the early decades of the twentieth century, many upscale hotels were built in Hyde Park (mostly along the lakefront). Hyde Park became a resort area in Chicago. Most of these hotels closed during the Great Depression, and were eventually converted into apartment and condominium buildings (most of which are still standing today).

Historical images of Hyde Park can be found in Explore Chicago Collections, a digital repository made available by Chicago Collections archives, libraries and other cultural institutions in the city.

Racial integration, economic decline, and urban renewal
Until the middle of the twentieth century, Hyde Park remained an almost exclusively white neighborhood (despite its proximity to Chicago's Black Belt). Hyde Parkers relied on racially restrictive covenants to keep African Americans out of the neighborhood. At the time, the use of such covenants was supported by the University of Chicago.

After the Supreme Court banned racially restrictive covenants in 1948, African Americans began moving into Hyde Park, and the neighborhood gradually became multiracial. In 1955, civil rights activist Leon Despres was elected alderman of Hyde Park and held the position for twenty years. Despres argued passionately for racial integration and fair housing on the floor of the Chicago City Council, and became known as the "liberal conscience of Chicago" for often casting the sole dissenting vote against the policies of Chicago's then-mayor Richard J. Daley.

During the 1950s, Hyde Park experienced economic decline as a result of the white flight that followed the rapid inflow of African Americans into the neighborhood. In the 1950s and 1960s, the University of Chicago, in its effort to counteract these trends, sponsored one of the largest urban renewal plans in the nation. The plan involved the demolition and redevelopment of entire blocks of supposedly decayed buildings with the goal of creating an "interracial community of high standards." After the plan was carried out, Hyde Park's average income soared by seventy percent, but its African American population fell by forty percent, since the substandard housing primarily occupied by low-income African Americans had been purchased, torn down, and replaced, with the residents not being able to afford to remain in the newly rehabilitated areas. The ultimate result of the renewal plan was that Hyde Park did not experience the economic depression that occurred in the surrounding areas and became a racially integrated middle-class neighborhood.

The University of Chicago
The central campus of the University of Chicago—including Pritzker School of Medicine, the University of Chicago Hospital, the historic Main Quadrangles, and the Booth School of Business—is bounded by Washington Park on the west, 55th Street on the north, University Ave. on the east, and 61st Street on the south, placing most of the University within Hyde Park's southwestern quadrant (with the remainder, south of the Midway, being in Woodlawn). The University also owns a number of additional properties throughout Hyde Park, with many concentrated along a narrow corridor along 59th Street between the central campus and the Metra tracks—including, for example, the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools and International House. Due to the University's proximity, the blocks just east of the central campus are dominated by (privately owned) student and faculty residences.

East Hyde Park
The part of Hyde Park located east of the Metra tracks is locally called East Hyde Park. This area, the part of Hyde Park nearest to Lake Michigan, has a large number of high-rise condominiums, many of them facing the lakefront. Some of these condominiums are remnants of older hotels, like The Mayfair or Regents Park. In this respect, East Hyde Park differs markedly from the rest of Hyde Park, where the vast majority of residences are either three-story apartment buildings or single-family homes (with only a small number of high-rise condominiums).

South Kenwood
Although the neighborhood bounded by 47th Street on the north, 51st Street (Hyde Park Boulevard) on the south, Cottage Grove Avenue on the west, and Lake Michigan on the east is officially the southern half of the Kenwood community area, it is often considered part of Hyde Park due to the two areas' shared culture and history; "Hyde Park-Kenwood" is thus sometimes applied to this collective area (as in, e.g., the "Hyde Park-Kenwood Historic District"). Some differences are nonetheless apparent: unlike Hyde Park, which is dominated by three- and four-story apartment buildings and modest family homes, southern Kenwood boasts a great many luxurious mansions, built mainly at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries for wealthy Chicagoans. A number of prominent Chicagoans currently reside or own homes in this area, including former U.S. president Barack Obama and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. Boxer Muhammad Ali and former Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad also once resided in south Kenwood.

Diversity

Hyde Park is a very racially diverse neighborhood. Its population is 47.6% White, 26.8% African American, 12.1% Asian American, 8.5% Hispanic, and 5.0% of other races or of more than one race. There are some differences between the racial demographics of the part of Hyde Park south of 55th Street and the part of Hyde Park north of 55th Street. Residents south of 55th Street are predominantly White and Asian American, with a smaller percentage being African American or Hispanic. North of 55th Street, African Americans make up approximately half of the population and there's a larger percentage of Hispanics. In 2000, Hyde Park was 45.8% White, 38.1% African American, 0.1% American Indian, 11.3% Asian, 0.1% Pacific Islander, 4.1% Hispanic, and 4.6% from other races or two or more races.

Hyde Park's location in the center of the predominantly African American South Side as well as the neighborhood's large population of affluent and upper-middle class black residents have made it an important cultural and political hub of Chicago's black community. Many of Chicago's prominent African American politicians live or have lived in Hyde Park, including former Chicago Mayor Harold Washington; former U.S. Senator Carol Moseley Braun, the first ever Black female U.S. senator; and former U.S. President Barack Obama.

Landmarks

The following Hyde Park community area properties have been added to the National Register of Historic Places: Chicago Beach Apartments, Arthur H. Compton House, East Park Towers, Chicago Pile-1, Flamingo-on-the-Lake Apartments, Mayfair Apartments, Isadore H. Heller House, Charles Hitchcock Hall, Hotel Del Prado, Hotel Windermere East, Frank R. Lillie House, Robert A. Millikan House, Poinsettia Apartments, Promontory Apartments, Jackson Shore Apartments, Frederick C. Robie House, George Herbert Jones Laboratory, St. Thomas Church and Convent, Shoreland Hotel, German submarine U-505, and University Apartments.

In addition, the NRHP Hyde Park-Kenwood Historic District and Jackson Park Historic Landscape District and Midway Plaisance are located, at least in part, within the Hyde Park community area.

Promontory Point
Promontory Point is an artificial peninsula that extends into Lake Michigan at 55th Street, providing views of the Downtown Chicago skyline to the north. Promontory Point is a common location for picnicking, sunbathing, and swimming. It made news as the location of the wedding reception between George Lucas and Mellody Hobson in June 2013.

Jackson Park
The southeastern corner of Hyde Park contains the northern end of Jackson Park. Jackson Park consists of lagoons surrounding an island in the middle (called the Wooded Island), on which a small Japanese garden is located. It is home to a large population of beavers and over two dozen species of birds. The Midway Plaisance, a wide boulevard that runs from Stony Island Avenue to Cottage Grove Avenue between 59th and 60th streets, connects Jackson Park to Washington Park (located to the west of Hyde Park).

Jackson Park has been selected by the Obama Foundation as the site of the future Obama Presidential Center.

Retail corridors

The shopping areas on 53rd, 55th, and 57th streets host most of the retail businesses in Hyde Park.

53rd Street
53rd Street is Hyde Park's oldest shopping district, lined with many small businesses and restaurants offering various dining options. Harper Court, a small-business-oriented shopping center, extends north of 53rd Street along Harper Avenue. A farmers' market is held there in the summer.

55th Street
The segment of 55th Street between the Metra line and the lake offers a series of ethnic restaurants serving Thai, Japanese, and Korean cuisine. To the west of the Metra line between 54th and 55th streets lies the Hyde Park Shopping Center.

57th Street
57th Street is noted for its independent bookstores. 57th Street also offers restaurants along with small grocery stores, hair stylists, and dry cleaners. On the first weekend in June, the venerable 57th Street Art Fair takes up 57th Street between Kimbark and Kenwood avenues.

Politics
The Hyde Park community area has supported the Democratic Party in the past two presidential elections by overwhelming margins. In the 2016 presidential election, Hyde Park cast 10,479 votes for Hillary Clinton and 442 votes for Donald Trump (91.9% to 3.9%). In the 2012 presidential election, Hyde Park cast 9,991 votes for Barack Obama and cast 651 votes for Mitt Romney (91.4% to 6.0%).

Transportation
By car, Hyde Park is easily accessed from Lake Shore Drive, which runs along the neighborhood's easternmost edge. The Dan Ryan Expressway and Chicago Skyway also lie within a short driving distance.

In terms of public transit, Hyde Park is served by eleven Chicago Transit Authority bus lines; Metra, Chicago’s commuter rail system; and the South Shore Line, an interurban passenger rail service that runs between Chicago and South Bend, Indiana. The latter two use the former Illinois Central Railroad’s embankment in East Hyde Park, near Lake Michigan.

The Metra Electric—which has three stations in the neighborhood (51st/53rd St./Hyde Park, 55th-56th-57th St., and 59th St./University of Chicago)—and the CTA’s #6 Jackson Park Express bus provide express service to the Loop from early morning to late night. The #2 Hyde Park Express and #28 Stony Island busses provide similar service during rush hours. Off-peak, however, the #2 does not run, while the #28 does so only to points south. CTA’s #10 Museum of Science and Industry route also provides express service to downtown, but only between Memorial and Labor Days and from one stop at the museum itself.

CTA’s #15 Jeffrey Local bus runs diagonally through Hyde Park, connecting the neighborhood to points south and to CTA's rapid transit system, the ”L”, at the Red and Green Lines' 47th and 51st St. stations, respectively. The #55 Garfield bus runs east-west through the neighborhood, also connecting it to the Red and Green Lines at their respective Garfield stations, and, ultimately, to Chicago's Midway Airport. The #4 Cottage Grove and #X4 Cottage Grove Express bus routes run north-south along Hyde Park's westernmost edge.

CTA also operates three bus routes in collaboration with the University of Chicago: #171 University of Chicago/Hyde Park, #172 University of Chicago/Kenwood, and #192 University of Chicago Hospitals Express. The #171 and #172 are local circulator routes that run on a reduced schedule during the summer, while the #192 runs during rush hours only to and from major rail stations in the Loop.

South Shore Line trains stops only at 55th-56th-57th St. They only board passengers southbound and discharge passengers northbound due to a non-compete agreement with Metra.

Towns
So whatever became of Holder? Every grain elevator deserves some respect. Wahkeenah 23:14, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * LOL, I recall driving through Holder, but I don't remember it being much of a town, more of an intersection. Srcrowl 07:53, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

Pronuncation
Wouldn't you say the pronunciation is muh-CLAIN, with a schwa, not mac-LAYN? BlongerBros 04:18, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes you are right, it should be muh-clain, and not muh-clayn -- clayn sounds like just that, clay with an "n" at the end. Srcrowl 04:10, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I intended CLAYN to be pronounced exactly as CLAIN. Either one works. And I stand by the proper pronuncation being more like mac-LAIN than muh-CLAIN. The main point is that it's NOT pronounced mac-LEEN, like the McDonald's "McLean Deluxe" sandwich a few years ago (or maybe they still have it?) :b Wahkeenah P.S. The proper pronunciation of that fast food place is "mac-donald's", although most everyone (including me) says "mick-donald's".
 * Well, now, really...I only know one person who says Mac-Donald's, and that's David Letterman. We should be reflecting the actual pronunciation.  It's not for us to determine what the proper pronunciation is. BlongerBros 04:42, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, now, really... years ago the McDonald's ads themselves used to say "Mac-Donald's". Before your time, no doubt. :) In any case, I changed the pronunciation guide to reflect the discussion. Now I'll wait for someone with a Ph.D. in linguistics to replace it with that IPA gibberish, so I'll have someone new to yell at. >:) Wahkeenah 04:55, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * (Sheepish grin) My major was linguistics, but I prefer the system you used, or the one that is used in dictionaries. I don't think the IPA symbols are very useful in Wikipedia, except in technical articles. How many people even know the IPA symbols?  Heck, I don't remember half of them. BlongerBros 05:25, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't have any inherent problem with using the IPA symbols, but since the target audience is presumably English-speaking, old-fashioned and hopefully unambiguous straight-English pronunciation guides should also be there if the pronunciation is unusual or not obvious. I got into a short debate with someone over the Alice Liddell article. I added that it was pronounced "LID-ull". Fairly clear, yes? They took that out and added those incomprehensible IPA symbols. If you have to link to a page and study what the symbols are, that's not a good sign. So I kept the IPA but added back the "LID-ull", so hopefully everything is peachy now. And if they do the same thing to the Eric Liddell article, I'll be ready for them. >:) Wahkeenah 05:41, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey, that reminds me, Mr. Cunning Linguist... have you ever done, or seen, a survey of how many of the world's languages use "ma", or some variation, to mean "mother"? Anecdotal evidence suggests it is a very high percentage. Wahkeenah 05:41, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

The radio announcers say mac-LAYN, when they're being careful, and maybe a lot of the common citizenry say muh-CLAYN. Wahkeenah 08:02, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Adjacent Counties
Is this really important enough to be front and center in the article? I don't see it mentioned in other county articles. Are we sure it is one of the few? Is there a complete list we can check? And who defines adjacent? Vermilion is adjacent to 8 counties only if you include Indiana counties AND you count the "four-corners" point with Douglas County. I vote for moving this item into "Trivia". BlongerBros 19:50, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Trivia, for sure. Wahkeenah 23:47, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Updating
With the Wiki Project on Illinois, I am going to begin getting more info updated on this page, and the other towns, villages, and unincorporated areas. I have started by adding to the city list.--Kranar drogin 18:18, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
 * If anyone has the seal for the county, could they add that? I can not find one.--Kranar drogin 15:47, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Does Ogle County even have a seal, because DeKalb County's webpage talks about their seal very prominently and there isn't a single mention of a seal on Ogle County's website. A cursory examination of some of the online county documents revealed that they contained no seal either. DeKalb County even puts there seal on press releases. I am leaning toward there not being one. Is there Ogle Countys bylaws or code or whatever anywhere online, I didn't see it just browsing their site, but I will look harder. IvoShandor 01:35, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Santa Barbara County, California
 * Warren County, Ohio

Couldn't find a FA one or a GA for that matter.--Kranar drogin 04:46, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Lists
I know the U.S. Counties guidelines say to have a bunch of lists in the article. There is no reason to have them as part of the main article, we can use summary style and instead of listing the communities maybe we can actually tell something about them in relation to Ogle County in general. Lists are not a hallmark of a well-written article. The information can be much better conveyed otherwise. IvoShandor 01:50, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I think our lists should become more dynamic. For an example see List of Pennsylvania state parks, it would be neat if we could do something similar. IvoShandor 01:55, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Ok, I will see what I can find info wise on the seal. I was never able to find it either, even going through all the on-line forms. I have a few friends on the county board, I will see what they say too. Pictures, let me know what you want. Even though you are over there in DeKalb, it is very easy for me to get what is needed. I am not sure if I have a picture around here of Stronghold Castle, but that would be something of importance to link to. I like that list of state parks, that looks cool. Do we have a link for the county guidelines? I will help with this drive too. Man, two at once. Yeah.--Kranar drogin 03:54, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I like to to do that to. See National Register of Historic Places and its associated article's histories. IvoShandor 03:57, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

 * There is also a flag located at the county courthouse I think I was told, but I would have to BUY that haha. No image on the net of that either.--Kranar drogin 04:33, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Found a large list of stuff that is in Ogle here . Hope this helps!--Kranar drogin 04:38, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Narrative of the Chinese Embassy to the Khan of the Tourgouth Tartars

Narrative of the Chinese Embassy to the Khan of the Tourgouth Tartars, in the years 1712, 13, 14, and 15 is a record of the travel to Kalmykia, written by Tulišen, a Manchu official who lived in the Qing dynasty.

The book was written in both Manchu and Chinese. The title is:
 * in Manchu: Lakcaha jecen-de takūraha babe ejehe bithe lakcaha1.png (The book of the account of the process of having been to a distant region as an ambassador)
 * in Chinese: Yiyulu (, ‘Record of foreign regions’)

The English title is Narrative of the Chinese Embassy to the Khan of the Tourgouth Tartars, in the years 1712, 13, 14, and 15, by the Chinese Ambassador, and published by the Emperor's Authority, at Peking. This is from Sir George Thomas Staunton's translation in 1821. Although the Chinese version is more popular, the Manchu version offers higher quality information.

In 1712, Kangxi Emperor sent Tulišen and other emissaries to the Kalmyk Khanate to convey an imperial edict to Ayuka Khan of the Torghuts. They left Beijing, crossed Mongolia and then entered Russia. In order to avoid Dzungaria, they travelled through the Russian Empire to Saratov and entered into Ayuki's Torghut state (Turgūt gurun in Manchu). Having accomplished the mission, they returned to Beijing in 1715. Tulišen reported to the Emperor in both Manchu and Chinese. With the Emperor's permission, he published the book by editing these reports and private notes.

The formal purpose of this mission was to negotiate over the return of Ayuki's nephew Arabjur to Kalmykia. As a Buddhist, he made a pilgrimage to Tibet but was unable to return to Kalmykia because of the Dzungars' obstruction. Another purpose was to reconnoiter expanding Russia. In fact, the book is mostly devoted to the description of Russia. Some Russians suspected that the emissaries secretly encouraged the Torghuud to return to their homeland as Ayuki's great-grandson Ubashi did later.

In Tulisen's Manchu language record, it was mentioned that while the Torghuts were unlike the Russians, the  "people of the Central Kingdom" (dulimba-i gurun 中國, Zhongguo) were like the Torghut Mongols, and the "people of the Central Kingdom" referred to the Manchus.

CDPs / unincorporated communities
I've noticed two issues, which are related. I wanted to mention them here to provide more detail than I can in the edit summary.

1. The data that I have from the U. S. Census doesn't show any CDPs in Saline County, but there is a list of CDPs in the article. I'll change the heading to "Unincorporated communities".

2. The USGS lists 25 of unincorporated communities, but the article lists 84 of them. At least a few of those 25 may not actually exist any more -- it's typical of USGS data to continue listing towns long after they have faded away. That's not necessarily bad, and after all, there's probably no definition of when an unincorporated town ceases to be a "town" and becomes just a collection of two or three houses, as often happens. The point is I'm not sure where the 84 came from, although I do see that at least some of the 13 townships are included. I'll list the townships separately and can then narrow down the list using USGS data. Omnedon (talk) 13:20, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Flag
Hello to those that read this:

The flag on this page is incorrect. I originally added it, however I have come to the conclusion that the picture is not correct, nor does it show the entire flag. I have removed it once, but it has since been re-added. I'm not sure what to do, but I shall re-remove it and if it is re-re-added, I will deal with it then. Thank you.

Population Doubled?
The text says that the population of Carmi, Grayville, and Crossville doubled in 1940. The US census records suggest that this is an exaggeration. The text should be adjusted to reflect the real increases in population during this period. Condorman (talk) 15:36, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

What the heck?!?!
I suppose a short explanation of the long history section is in order. I've spent a lot of time at Wikipedia locating and posting up links to county-level histories. I've always suspected this was important and that solid "modern" histories could be constructed from these old sources. I just wanted to test the theory by trying to do it myself, and by luck of the draw Woodford County was the test case. I've never been to Woodford County, I don't know anyone who lives there, nobody from Woodford County is paying me — I just wanted to see whether pdfs of dusty old books could generate "fresh" history. It seems they can. —Tim Davenport, Corvallis, OR /// ShoeHutch@gmail.com /// Carrite (talk) 18:54, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Name of county
The county was named for Lt. Col. Joseph Bartholomew (1766-1840), not for Joseph Bartholemew (1843-1901) the state supreme court justice (who was Lt Col Joseph Bartholomew's grandson). Nate 04:05, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

sundown town category
I saw that this county was listed in Category:Sundown towns in Indiana, but I don't see any citations suggesting that nor was I able to find any supporting evidence after a cursory google search. Can we get some sort of citation or remove this category? Therealteal (talk) 21:04, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

Blackford County Drive-In
3811 S. State Road 3, Hartford City, IN 47348

Reached by 300 south. Caused that road to be known as ‘flick road’. From 1960’s to 1980’s, the only XXX movies for miles and miles. Some stories:

 * I grew up in Anderson, Indiana in the 60's and 70's and Blackford County Drive In was infamous. Their radio commercials were right on the edge for the time and all they showed were XXX movies and always advertised the in car heaters. Blast from the past.

 * Marion High School, mid-seventies. If you snuck in with your buddies, you were a hero at school on Monday.  If you snuck in with your girlfriend, you were a superhero.  Told my mother about the latter years after the fact, and she said, "You and she used to have some fun, didn't you?"  I was shocked.

 * Muncie native here. I remember begging my mom to take me to the Blackford because Cinderella was showing--she then informed me it wasn't 'the good Cinderella.' lol

With some sourcing, this could spice up the article. 2A00:23C3:E284:900:600A:ABFD:4E8:C819 (talk) 22:22, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

ancestry
The figures cited (and sourced) seem inaccurate in the presence of the other data and information cited about those claiming "American" ancestry. 130.182.29.26 (talk) 01:16, 15 October 2015 (UTC) In light of other research, other than just the one census, the ACS data seems far more accurate. The census seems fraught with an undercount and miscalculations due to the inclusion of "American" as an option.130.182.142.152 (talk) 21:48, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

William Elkins settled where? Or... What happened to Johnson Township?
The entry says he settled in Johnson Township and has a citation. Since this entry shows Brown County does not have a Johnson Township. Some maps show Washington Township expanded to include Johnson Township. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.120.34.113 (talk) 07:38, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
