Illinois State Route 26Illinois route 26 goes from the Wisconsin line near Monroe, Wisconsin south through Freeport, Dixon, Princeton, ending just north of East Peoria. The most recent major route change occurred around 1970 when Illinois 26 took over the former route of Illinois 87 north of East Peoria.Compared to the current route, the original routing was truncated on both ends: the part north of Freeport was route 74, and the part immediately south of Dixon did not exist. |
