Pulaski County, Illinois, is nestled between the Shawnee National Forest on the west, and the Ohio River on the east. Pulaski County is rich in river heritage, natural beauty and proud to have had a major role in our Nation's history. Pulaski County was named in honor of Count Casimir Pulaski, a Polish nobleman, born in Warka, Poland in 1747. He took a conspicuous part in the war for the liberation of Poland. When further resistance became hopeless, he went to Turkey and then on to France, where he offered his services to Benjamin Franklin, our then representative at the court of Louis XVI. Count Pulaski arrived in Philadelphia in the summer of 1777 and entered the service of the United States as a volunteer. He was soon made a Brigadier General by Congress and appointed to a command of cavalry, serving under General George Washington. He later raised an independent corps, known as the Pulaski Legion. Count Pulaski was wounded at the Battle of Savannah during the Revolutionary War on October 9, 1779. He died on October 11, 1779 as a result of his injuries. Count Pulaski is noted by historians as one of the most brilliant cavalry officers in the Revolutionary War. There are many memorials erected in the United States in memory of General Casimir Pulaski. Pulaski County began at a point on the Ohio River in Range line between 2 and 3 east, of the Third Principal Meridian, running north with and on said line to Cache River, down and with said river to Alexander County Line; thence north to the southeast corner of Union County. Embracing an area of 192 square miles, Pulaski County is one of the smallest counties in the state of Illinois. Let’s see the Illinois Golf Courses in Pulaski County, Illinois.
