Johnson County was organized in 1812 out of Randolph County. It was named for Richard M. Johnson, who was then a U.S. Congressman from Kentucky. In 1813, Johnson commanded a Kentucky regiment at the Battle of the Thames, after which he claimed to have killed Tecumseh in hand to hand combat. Johnson went on to be Vice President of the United States. On November 28, 2000, Johnson County was designated as the Bicycling Capital of Illinois by a resolution of the Illinois House of Representatives due to the Tunnel Hill Trail and the Transamerica Bicycle Route intersecting in Johnson County. Bicycling is a wonderful way to enjoy the diversity of southernmost Illinois. Johnson County also includes an interesting variety of terrain, from rocky-forested hills to beautiful cypress swamps. It includes state parks, national forest land and a national wildlife refuge. Let’s see the Illinois Golf Courses in Johnson County.
