Petersburg is a historic city located in Menard County, Illinois, United States. The city serves as the county seat and is notably connected to Abraham Lincoln's early life and career.
Founded in the 1830s, Petersburg is situated along the Sangamon River and was home to the historic New Salem settlement where Lincoln lived and worked as a young man before becoming a lawyer and politician. The area preserves much of its 19th-century character through its architecture and historical sites.
The city's cultural heritage is closely tied to the Lincoln era and the early frontier history of Illinois. Today, Petersburg continues to maintain its small-town atmosphere while serving as a gateway to important historical sites, including Lincoln's New Salem State Historic Site, which reconstructs the 1830s village where Abraham Lincoln spent his early adulthood.
