Location of Macomb, Illinois
Macomb, IL, a small town and the county seat of McDonough County, was founded in 1831 as a result of bounty given to war veterans of the War of 1812 as part of the Military Tract which makes up western Illinois. Macomb was named after General Alexander Macomb, a military hero of the war of 1812. Macomb's total area is 10 square miles, and Macomb has a population of 18,558 people. Macomb is also known as the home of the main campus of Western Illinois University. Macomb has had its share of famous visitors, including Abraham Lincoln, who addressed a large audience before his election, and Barack Obama, who likewise addressed a large audience before his election.


General Macomb's official portrait, 1829
General Alexander Macomb won acclaim during the War of 1812 as Brigadier General in command of the frontier of northern New York. At the Battle of Plattsburgh on September 11, 1814, with only 1,500 regular troops and some detachments of militia, he was opposed by a British force of 10,531 men under Lieutenant General Sir George Prevost. Macomb's heavily outnumbered troops fell back before the British columns in a series of skirmishes as Prevost advanced towards the American defensive works. In the weeks leading up to the battle, Macomb, knowing full well he would be outnumbered heavily, worked with his men to move trees and create fake roads in order to obscure the genuine roads and lead the British into dead-end traps far from the three nearby American forts. (Macomb called this maneuver abattis.) The British attack was diffused. Long narrow lines of marching soldiers were unable to easily stop and about-face. They became entangled in the narrow false road maze, and were sitting targets for the waiting Americans. The British were about to launch an assault on the American defenses when the news came through of the defeat of the British naval squadron on Lake Champlain. Prevost needed the British Lake Champlain squadron to supply his planned advance into Vermont. Without it, he had no choice but to abandon the expedition. The British invaders marched off back to Canada. Macomb was given the name "The Hero of Plattsburgh" by some of the American press. He was promoted to Major General for his conduct at this battle, receiving both the thanks of Congress and a Congressional Gold Medal, as well as having our featured city named after him.
