About Mount Vernon
Mount Vernon is a city in Jefferson County, Illinois, with a population of about 14,500. Founded in 1817 by Zadok Casey, it was named after George Washington’s plantation. The town developed around key roads and a bridge over Casey Creek in the 1820s. It became an important legal center when the Illinois Supreme Court’s first Grand Division moved there in 1848, attracting lawyers like Abraham Lincoln. Mount Vernon is known for its railroad car manufacturing history and recovery after a major tornado in 1888. Located on high ground between Casey Creek and the Big Muddy River, it sits roughly 65 miles east of St. Louis.
