Excerpt from History of Pike County: A Centennial Address Delivered by Hon. William a Grimshaw, at Pittsfield, Pike County, Illinois, July 4, 1876 With gratitude to Almighty God, who ruleth the destinys of na tions, as of individuals, we welcome this our Nation's Birth day. This Centennial day brings evidence to us of the wisdom and foresight of the Fathers of this National Government. How proud we all should and do feel that we are one illustrious, powerful nation, and not divided into jealous, intriguing states; as a people, free as the air we breathe, we are yet bound with the cords of Nationality to the great idea of our Fathers. Expressed by a Patriot. The Union, one and inseparable. Free as to all our indi vidual rights and with no encroachment upon our rights as citizens of Illinois, or of any other State Subject to the universal law of civilization, which requires restraint on the actions of individuals, in furtherance and protection of the general good of our fellow men. Long may we love, cherish and protect our United States, and love with our hearts' devotion the Flag of our Fathers, the emblem of our great and glorious nation, renowned to earth's remotest bounds. The office of historian for this occasion was conferred by the Committee, appointed by a meeting, as will be seen by the published report thereof, to be annexed to the proceedings of this day.

Formed in 1814, Pike County was originally comprised of the townships of Middle Smithfield, Delaware, Upper Smithfield, Lackawaxen, and Palmyra. As years passed, other townshipsA were added and some of the names changed, and today Pike County consists of 13 townships and boroughs. Even before Pike County was formed, the stories of the people, land, and events wove an intricate tale. The early daredevils who rafted lumber to Trenton and Philadelphia, using the Delaware River as their byway, were a rough?and?tumble bunch. As time went on, these mavericks gave way to new ones and the stories of entrepreneurs, trendsetters, great men and women, and fascinating events were etched into the countyas history. Using vintage photographs from the Pike County Historical Societyas archives, Pike County chronicles the people and stories that make this area unique.
