Hello,

My name is Marshall Jones and I am your County Board Chairman for fiscal years 2018 - 2019.  This site is your portal to Henry County Government and I hope you will visit it frequently.

The purpose of this site is to act as an additional link to your local government and its officials in order, to the extent possible, to provide transparent government.

Our scheduled meetings are found on the home page and if you wish to view the agendas, click on the PUBLIC INFO link at the top of the page.

We welcome your thoughts and concerns and ask that you share them with us.  Contact information for board members can be found under the Departments tab at the top, then choose the County Board tab on the left, and then click the "Meet Your County Board Members" link.

Lastly, if you are interested in helping your community, there are many opportunities for volunteering.  You can view a comprehensive list of committees available by clicking the "Volunteer Opportunities" link in the County Board section. 

 Thank you for allowing me the privilege of serving you.

Together, we are Henry County.

 
Marshall Jones

Henry County, Illinois is located in Northwestern Illinois, just 16 miles from the Mississippi River dividing Illinois and Iowa.  Henry County is primarily made up of rolling farmland, and is well known for hog, corn, soybean and cattle production.  The area is also dotted with wooded areas, rivers, lakes and streams.

While much of the county is agricultural in nature, the cities and towns of Henry County feature many manufacturing and business outlets.  The county is served by Interstate Highways 80 and 74, plus both freight and passenger rail lines.  In addition, Henry County is just 10 minutes from the Quad Cities International Airport.

Henry County features areas of great historical interest, including the Bishop Hill Colony, the Hennepin Canal, the Great Sauk Trail and other areas reflecting the rich heritage of the region.
