Biographical History
The Department of Conservation (created 1925) succeeded the Dept. of Agriculture's Division of Fish and Game in administering state fish and game codes. Additionally, the department was charged with water pollution prevention and forestry promotion responsibilities. Upon assumming the powers of the Illinois Park Commission (1909-1917) from the Dept. of Public Works and Buildings (1951), the department became responsible for state monuments and memorials; and the state park system. Other departmental duties have included land reclamation (1961) and historical site registration (1976). The Dept. of Natural Resources was created (July 1, 1995) with the consolidation of Dept. of Conservation, Department of Mines & Minerals, Abandoned Mined Lands Reclamation Council, Division of Water Resources from Dept. of Transportation, and portions of Department of Energy and Natural Resources.

A temporary Illinois Park Commission (1909-1911) studied the establishment of both Starved Rock State Park and a state park system. The permanent Illinois Park Commission (1911-1917), was comprised of three gubernatorial appointees charged with state park administration and system expansion planning. When the commission was abolished (1917), its duties were passed to the Dept. of Public Works and Buildings, which remained in charge of the state park system until the Dept. of Conservation assumed this responsibility (1951).
