The DuQuoin State Fair was founded in 1923 by local businessman William R. "W.R." Hayes, who owned the fair and ran it. (It did not become run by the state of Illinois as a true "state fair" until the 1980s; it is now officially called the Illinois State Fair in DuQuoin, as opposed to the longtime one at state capital Springfield.)
Du Quoin had its start at its present location in 1853 when the railroad was extended to that point. [4] The city was named after Chief Jean Baptiste Ducoigne of the Kaskaskia , an Illiniwek people, who were defeated by the Shawnee near here in 1802.
