The area which is now Lee County was part of Bond and Clark Counties
when Illinois became a state in 1818. In 1825, the area was part of
Putnam County. In 1836, present day Lee County was part of Ogle
County.
The County is named in honor of Lighthorse Harry Lee, officer in the
Revolutionary War, or Richard Henry Lee, member of the Continental
Congress. The Declaration of Independence was adopted pursuant to
Lee's Resolution.
