| + | |||
| + | The county was named for Sgt. William Jasper, Revolutionary War hero from South Carolina. In the defense of Fort Moultrie in 1776, when the staff of the American flag was shot away, Sgt. Jasper erected a temporary staff, and waved the flag at the British until a new staff was erected. The county seat is Newton and the county was organized on 1831. The County is located in the East-Central part of the state.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Jasper County," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasper_County,_Illinois 04/013/2017.</ref> | ||
