Bond County, County administrative zone in Illinois, US
Bond County is an administrative area in south-central Illinois with a mix of farmland and residential communities. The county seat of Greenville sits at its heart.
The area was established in 1817 and named after Illinois delegate Shadrach Bond when it separated from Madison County. This split was an important step in the state's administrative organization.
The American Farm Heritage Museum displays farming equipment and tells the story of agricultural life in the region. Visitors can see how work on the fields has changed across generations.
Visitors find government services in Greenville where permits, property matters, and other official documents are processed. The area is most accessible during business hours.
Governor Bond Lake is a large body of water within the area that offers fishing and water recreation throughout the year. The lake provides a refreshing contrast to the surrounding farmland.
