Driving Around Small Town Hillsboro, Illinois in 4k Video

Filmed on Thursday, June 5 2023, I drive around the village Hillsboro, IL to see what's happening.

Hillsboro is a city in Montgomery County, Illinois. The 2020 population was 5,902, down from 6,209 in 2010.

Hillsboro was founded in 1823 and incorporated on March 26, 1913.

There is dispute about the origin of the city's name.

The local terrain is quite hilly, as a result of the drainage of the Shoal Creek watershed, causing widespread belief that this is the name's source.

Alternatively, there is the belief that it was named for Hillsborough, North Carolina, the home of some of the early settlers, including Hiram Rountree and John Nussman.
