A county in east-central Illinois. The county seat is Paxton. Ford County was formed February 17, 1859. It was the last of Illinois's 102 counties to be formed, and was created at the behest of some residents of Vermilion County, who complained to the General Assembly that they lived too far from the county seat. Ford County was named after Thomas Ford, the Governor of Illinois from 1842 to 1846. (Source: Wikipedia)
