Footnotes ...
| <1> | If you're interested in how the shape of Illinois' counties, including Vermilion, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries. |
| <2> | A portmanteau (such as Illiana) is the combination or contraction of two (or more) words, their sound and the meaning of those words to create a new word. For example, camera and recorder becomes camcorder. |
| <3> | The elevation is an estimate for the area around Illiana - it will be higher in some places and lower in others. |
| <4> | When there's a risk of an area code running out of phone numbers, an 'Overlay Area Code' is created that has the same geographic boundaries as the existing area code. In this case, the 217 code has been Overlayed with the 447 area code. New phone numbers in the Illiana area will be assigned with one of these codes: 217 or 447. As a result, placing a call in the Illiana area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number). |
