Bishop Hill, IL Real Estate

Bishop Hill is a village in Henry County, Illinois, along the South Edwards River. The population was 125 at the 2000 census. It is the home of the Bishop Hill State Historic Site, a park operated by the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency.

Bishop Hill is located at 41 °12 3 N, 90 °7 6 W (41.200711, -90.118327) GR1.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 1.4 km (0.5 mi ), all land.

The village was founded in 1846 by Swedish immigrants affiliated with the Pietist movement, led by Erik Jansson, seeking a haven from religious persecution. Villagers lived as a collective religious colony in 1846-1861; as the Civil War broke out, the congregation dissolved.

The Janssonist emigrants were the first significant group of men and women to move from Sweden to the United States. Letters home from Janssonists to their friends and family, telling of the fertile agricultural land in the interior of North America, stimulated substantial migration for several decades and the formation of the Swedish-American ethnic community of the American Midwest.
