Edwards County is a county located in the U.S. state of Illinois. As of the 2010 census, the population was 6,721.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/17/17047.html )〕 Its county seat is Albion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 It is located in the southern portion known locally as "Little Egypt". ==History== Edwards County was named for Ninian Edwards, the governor of the Illinois Territory, and, later, governor of Illinois. Edwards County is subdivided into "Road Districts", rather than "Townships" as in most Illinois counties. Pursuant to the Land Ordinance of 1785, the Northwest Territory (including Illinois) was surveyed and mostly organized into townships that are six miles square; but Edwards County was settled prior to that survey, and its pre-existing Road Districts do not generally correspond with the survey's townships.
