Prior to 1784 the commonwealth of Virginia consisted of a vast territory extending west from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River and north from the North Carolina line to the Great Lakes. Starting in 1784, however the size of the commonwealth decreased: in 1784 the US Congress accepted Virginia's cession of its northwestern lands; parts of three Virginia counties were added to the commonwealth of Pennsylvania between 1776 and 1785; and between 1784 and 1792 residents of the area known as the district of Kentucky held ten conventions on the question of statehood. On December 18, 1789, the General Assembly of Virginia passed an act to allow Kentucky to apply for statehood, and on June 1792 Kentucky's nine counties became a state. With the start of the Civil War in 1861, fifty of Virginia's western counties voted to remain in the Union, and on June 23, 1863, West Virginia became a state. Illinois County formerly in Virginia. Illinois County was named for the Illini, a confederacy of woodland tribes. The French changed the name, which means "the men," to Illinois. Illinois County was Created in Dec. 1778 after George Rogers Clark had captured several British posts on the Mississippi River within Virginia's boundaries. The county included all of that territory between the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers that now constitutes the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin, as well as a small part of Minnesota. The General Assembly continued the county's existence until January 5, 1782. On March 1, 1784, the Illinois territory was ceded to Congress and ceased to be part of the commonwealth of Virginia. YOHOGANIA COUNTY (extinct) meaning (stream flowing) Created in 1776 when the district of West Augusta was divided into three new counties: Monongalia, Ohio and Yohogania. Within nine years, almost all of Yohogania, and much of Ohio and Monongalia Counties, became part of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The remaining portions of Ohio and Monongalia Counties in 1863 became part of the new state of West Virginia. Yohogania remained a Virginia County until Oct. 1785 session of the General Assembly, at which time the assembly recognized that since the western boundary of Pennsylvania had been extended and had taken in most of Yohogania, the area left was too small to remain a separate county. So the rest of Yohogania was added to Ohio County. KENTUCKY COUNTIES FORMERLY I VIRGINIA: Bourbon Co. was formed in 1785 from Kentucky County.
