Tallula, Illinois : ウィキペディア英語版 | Tallula, Illinois
Tallula is a village in Menard County, Illinois, United States. It was founded in 1857 by William G. Greene. The population was 638 at the 2000 census. It is part of the Springfield, Illinois Metropolitan Statistical Area. == History == William G. Greene, J. G. Greene, Richard Yates, T. Baker, and W. G. Spears laid out Tallula in late 1857. The name of "Tallula" was said to be an Indian word. The ''History of Menard & Mason Counties, Illinois'' credits Spears with the name, and notes that it was said to mean "dropping water", but nothing in the area is especially related to dropping water; the county tourist bureau claims that William G. Greene named the town, that it means "trickling water", and that it is related to "abundant springs in the area". Tallula was incorporated as a village under Illinois' general municipal law in 1871 or 1872. William Greene and physician J. F. Wilson established the local bank in May 1877.〔
