It was named after Dr. Conrad Will, a businessman involved in salt production in southern Illinois, and also a politician.〔("Was Dr. Conrad Will really worth his salt?" ), Ledger-Sentinel, Roger Matile, June 22, 2006〕 Will was a member of the first Illinois Constitutional Convention and a member of the Illinois Legislature until his death in 1835. On January 12, 1836, Will County was formed from Cook County and Iroquois County. It included besides its present area, the part of Kankakee County, Illinois lying north of the Kankakee River. Will County lost that area when Kankakee County was organized in 1852, but since then its boundaries have been unchanged. Thirty-six locations in Will County are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
