The Civilian Conservation Corps was created by Roosevelt in 1934.
In Illinois, there were around 50 CCC camps, with a couple dozen more in the peak year of 1935. For the large camps, the optimum work force per camp varied from 180 to 200 enrollees. Some larger Illinois state parks that had long-term or multiple projects are White Pines State Park, in Ogle County, Pere Marquette State Park, in Jersey County, Starved Rock State Park, LaSalle County, Trail of Tears State Forest in Union County, Illinois and Michigan Canal State Trail (Will, Grundy, and LaSalle counties), and Giant City State Park in Union and Jackson counties. Several other state parks received improvements with CCC labor, including the development of a state tree nursery near Havana in Mason County and of Spring Lake in Tazewell County, and infrastructure improvements at Mississippi Palisades (Carroll Co.), and Illini (LaSalle Co.) state parks. Fox Ridge State Park, in Coles County, was entirely developed with CCC labor. Other projects were launched in Buffalo Rock (LaSalle Co.), Gebhard Woods (Grundy Co.), and Kickapoo (Vermilion Co.) state parks and Lincoln's New Salem (Menard County), Lincoln Log Cabin (Coles), and Black Hawk (Rock Island) state historical sites.
