Shelbyville was founded in 1827 and named in honor of Isaac Shelby, hero of the Revolutionary War and Governor of Kentucky. The history of Shelbyville begins with Barnett Bone, a Tennessean who, in 1835, built a log cabin along the Kaskaskia River. His cabin eventually became the county courthouse. The first businesses were blacksmith shops, a general store and stage coach stop, and a grist mill. The terminal moraine of the Wisconsin Glacier is located near Shelbyville. This is referred to as the "Shelbyville Moraine". The Kaskaskia River has been dammed where it breaches the Shelbyville Moraine, forming Lake Shelbyville.
