When is Illinois' Birthday?
The admission date and birthdate of Illinois.
We here at Research Maniacs consider Illinois' birthdate
to be the day Illinois joined the Union. In other words,
Illinois' birthday is the date of statehood for Illinois.
The admission date and therefore the birthdate of Illinois is:
December 3, 1818.
You may also be interested to know that Illinois is the
21st state to be admitted to the Union.
Do you know what day of the week Illinois was born? We have
made a calendar for 1818
so you can find out.
Anyway, if this is December 3, then this is Illinois' Birthday. Happy Birthday Illinois!
