Cumberland County, Administrative county in Illinois, United States.
Cumberland County is an administrative division in central Illinois with farmlands, residential communities, and eight distinct townships, with Toledo serving as its capital. The land extends across rolling terrain and agricultural fields that shape daily life for residents.
The county was founded in 1843 and named after the National Road, which planners intended to route through the area. This early connection to regional infrastructure shaped how settlements developed.
German heritage shows itself in the names of towns and local traditions across the region. You notice these influences in the small communities and in how people have built their lives here.
Interstate highways 57 and 70 cross through the county, connecting it directly to larger cities in the region. Visitors can use these main routes to reach destinations farther north, east, or south.
The area is served by two separate school districts that manage different parts of the county. This division reflects how rural administration operates in Illinois with localized systems.
