历史

起源

A Carnegie library, Macomb, Illinois

First settled in 1829 on a site tentatively named Washington, the town was officially founded in 1830 as the county seat of McDonough County and given the name Macomb after General Alexander Macomb, a general in the War of 1812. War veterans were given land grants in the Macomb area, which was part of the "Military Tract" set aside by Congress. In 1855 the Northern Cross Railroad, a predecessor to the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, was constructed through Macomb, leading to a rise in the town's population. 在1899年，西伊利诺伊州师范学校（即后来的西伊利诺伊大学），在马科姆始建。 马科姆和西部伊利诺伊铁路1903年建成，从马科姆附近的工业和利特尔顿当地金融家查理五世钱德勒，但是这条铁路于1930年被遗弃。1918年开始，在伊利诺伊三号干线的建设是作为一个国家资助的公路，从开罗到岩石岛通过马科姆，美国在20年代末67路线是沿这条路线延伸到爱荷华州迪比克。

总统访问

曾有多为总统访问过马科姆， Ulysses S. Grant, Andrew Johnson, Rutherford B. Hayes, William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt have all made short addresses in Macomb. On two occasions, Abraham Lincoln and Barack Obama addressed large audiences prior to their election as president. Obama was actually stumping for state senate at the time, meaning a president or presidential nominee has not visited Macomb in 109 years and counting.

St. Louis Rams Summer Camp

Macomb was home to the St. Louis Rams' football summer training camp from 1996-2004. In 2005, the Rams decided to move summer training to their own facilities in St. Louis, Missouri, ending the nine-year relationship.
