Originally platted in 1839 to become the county seat of the newly-created Williamson County it was named after the Revolutionary War hero Gen. Francis "Swamp Fox" Marion. Today it's now home to at least 17,011 residents according to a special census conducted in November 2006, and is continuing to grow. The city's longtime municipal leader, Mayor Robert L. "Bob" Butler has borrowed Boston's moniker giving the city its slogan of "Marion: Hub of the Universe". It sits at the edge of the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge with the Shawnee National Forest just a few miles away. Southwest of the city is the United States Penitentiary (USP) Marion, the federal government's replacement for Alcatraz which later served as the nation's first federal supermax prison. read full wikipedia reference about Marion, Illinois Marion City Hall 1102 Tower SquarePlaza Marion, IL 62959 Phone: 618-997-6281 Fax: 618-997-2028 OTHER POPULAR DESTINATIONS IN ILLINOISAlton Arlington Heights Aurora Bloomington Bolingbrook Carbondale Champaign Chicago Collinsville Crystal Lake Danville Decatur Deerfield Dekalb Des Plaines Effingham Elgin Elk Grove Village Elmhurst Fairview Heights Freeport Galesburg Gurnee Hoffman Estates Jacksonville Joliet Lansing Libertyville Lincolnshire Lombard Macomb Marion Metropolis Moline Mount Vernon Naperville Normal Northbrook O'Fallon Oakbrook Ottawa Peoria Peru Quincy Rockford Rosemont Schaumburg Schiller Park Skokie Springfield St. Charles Sycamore Tinley Park Urbana Waukegan |
