According to the 2010 census, it had a population of 135,394.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/17/17179.html )〕 Its county seat and largest city is Pekin.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 It is pronounced with a short "a", to rhyme with "razz" rather than "raze". Tazewell County is part of the Peoria, IL Metropolitan Statistical Area. The majority of the population live along the western border of the county. ==History== Tazewell County was formed out of Peoria County in 1827. The consensus appears to be that it was named in honor of Littleton Tazewell, who was serving in the U.S. Senate, and who became Governor of Virginia in 1834. It is, however, possible that it was named for Littleton's father, prominent Virginia politician Henry Tazewell, for whom Tazewell County, Virginia, was named.
