Description: Tour06_400 1862 print RUINS OF MORMON TEMPLE, NAUVOO, ILLINOIS, #400 Nice view titled Ruines du temple de Nauvoo. — Dessin de Ferogio d’après des documents fournis par M. J. Remy., from wood engraving with fine detail and clear impression, overall size is approx. 20.5 x 18 cm, image size is approx. 15.5 x 12 cm. From Le Tour du Monde, French 19th century illustrated exploration and travel magazine, which started publishing in 1860. Nauvoo city, Hancock county, western Illinois, U.S. It lies along the Mississippi River, about 30 miles (50 km) southwest of Burlington, Iowa. The area was long inhabited by Sauk and Fox Indians before American settlement. Permanent settlement was begun in 1824 by Captain James White, and the area soon became known as Venus. In 1834 it was renamed Commerce, and two years later the city was laid out, though in 1837 much of the area was abandoned. Nauvoo played an important role in Illinois history during the Mormon era. The Mormons arrived in 1839, and their leader, Joseph Smith, renamed the settlement Nauvoo (a Hebrew word signifying “Beautiful Place”). It subsequently grew as a Mormon community of as many as 20,000 (making it then one of the largest cities in the state). In 1846, two years after a mob murdered Smith and his brother at the jail in nearby Carthage, Brigham Young led the Mormons on an exodus to Utah. In 1849 the area was settled by Icarians, a group of socialists chiefly of French origin led by Étienne Cabet, who were joined by German and Swiss immigrants. By the mid-1850s there were divisions within the commune, and many Icarians left Nauvoo. From the mid-1860s Nauvoo became a centre for the cultivation of grapes; the local economy was devastated by Prohibition (1919–33). In the 1930s blue-cheese making was introduced and became a chief source of income until the early 21st century. The city's economy is today based on wine making, agriculture (corn [maize], soybeans, and livestock), and tourism. Joseph Smith Historic Site includes the Joseph Smith Homestead (1803), the original log hut of the Smith family, and the Joseph Smith Mansion House (1843), built as Smith's permanent residence. Other local attractions include the home of Brigham Young and the Icarian Living History Museum, located in a house built in the 1840s. In 2002 a new Mormon temple, a replica of the original that was burned in 1848 and demolished in 1867, was dedicated. Nauvoo State Park, which encompasses about 150 acres (60 hectares), includes a historical museum and is a popular site for fishing. Inc. 1841. Pop. (2000) 1,063; (2010) 1,149.
