为纪念伊利诺族印地安人，遂以此为这块土地命名。伊利诺州的别号是「林肯之地」
(Land of Lincoln)，因为美国的第16届总统在此长大。伊利诺在1818年添加联邦，成为美国第21州。它的首府是春田(Springfield)。位于该州北部边界，密西根湖旁的芝加哥，是美国境内第三大城市。伊利诺州的州花是长于当地的紫罗兰。
Named for the Illinois Indians, this state is known as the "Land of Lincoln," because it's where the 16th president was raised. Illinois became the 21st state in 1818, and its capital is Springfield. At the northern edge of the state on Lake Michigan is Chicago, the nation's third largest city. The state flower is the native violet.
