Black Hawk State Historic Site - a wooded, steeply rolling 208-acre tract - borders the Rock River in Rock Island County. Prehistoric Indians and nineteenth-century settlers made their homes here, but the area is most closely identified with the Sauk nation and the warrior-leader whose name it bears - Black Hawk. The site, which is also noted for its many natural features, is managed by the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency.
