Illinois's FIPS state code is 17 and its postal abbreviation is IL. What is now Illinois was claimed as part of Illinois County, Virginia , between 1778 and 1782. Modern-day county formation dates to 1790 when the area was part of the Northwest Territory ; two counties—St. Clair and Knox—were created at that time.
The five-digit codes of FIPS 6-4 used the two digit FIPS state code (FIPS Publication 5-2, also withdrawn on September 2, 2008), followed by the three digits of the county code within the state or possession.
