It coincided with the area now embraced in the States of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and that portion of Minnesota lying on the east side of the Mississippi River. The United States itself at that period extended no farther west than the Mississippi River; but by. The purchase of Louisiana in 1803, the western boundary of the United States was extended to the Rocky Mountains and the Northern Pacific Ocean. The new territory thus added to the National domain, and subsequently opened to settlement, has been called the New Northwest, in contradistinction from the old Northwestern Territory.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Woodford County History In the early 1800's, as the population of the eastern states increased, available land for homesteading sites became hard to find. So those who sought to avoid the crowd set out to conquer the prairies of the West in the new state of Illinois they sought a new life. Woodford county was organized in 1841 by a committee of pioneers, headed by Thomas Bullock who came to Walnut Grove (now Eureka) in 1835 from his birthplace in Versailles, Woodford County, Kentucky. The county and its first county seat, Versailles, were both named by Mr. Bullock in honor of his boyhood home. Versailles village ceased to exist many years ago.

Woodford county soldiers were principally engaged in movements for opening the Mississippi and for opening the south. The first company having a large part of its enlistment made up of Woodford county men, was Company G of the Seventeenth Infantry. It was captained by Otis A. Burgess, a Christian minister, who was at one time president of Eureka College. Burgess Memorial Hall, of that institution was erected in his honor, largely thru the generosity of his widow.
