Cumberland County, Administrative county in Illinois, United States.
Cumberland County spans 347 square miles across central Illinois, featuring farmlands, residential communities, and eight distinct townships with Toledo as its capital.
The county, established in 1843, received its name from the National Road, which planners intended to construct through the region's territory.
German heritage shapes the county's identity, with over thirty percent of residents tracing their ancestry to German immigrants who settled in the region.
