Springfield is the capital of the state of Illinois and also the administrative center of Sangamon County. The city was founded in 1819; it became an administrative center in 1823, and received its fuero in 1840. It became the capital of Illinois in 1837. The legislative assembly was convened here, for the first time, in 1839. According to the 2010 census, 111,454 inhabitants live in the city. Originally, around 1810 the city was named Calhoun, after South Carolina Sen. John C. Calhoun, but after the population had been unraveled with Calhoun, the city was renamed Springfield. Abraham Lincoln is one of the most important and prominent inhabitants of the city; moved to the area in 1831, but did not live in the city itself until 1837. U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant also maintained ties to Springfield.
