    Sep 25 2025
    Dive into the early history of the Starved Rock area in Northern Illinois, a region rich in cultural significance. Long before European settlers arrived, the area was inhabited by Native American tribes, particularly the Kaskaskia, who thrived in the Grand Village of the Illinois across the river. In 1673, explorers Louis Jolliet and Jacques Marquette became the first Europeans documented to navigate this breathtaking landscape. By 1683, the French established Fort St. Louis atop a striking sandstone butte that overlooks the river. A poignant native legend tells of the Illinois Confederation, who, pursued by the Ottawa and Potawatomi, sought refuge on the butte. Tragically, they were besieged until they perished from starvation, forever etching the name Starved Rock into history. Recognized for its historical significance, this butte was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1960. (Introduction by Wikipedia and Veronica Jenkins)
