Sec. 1-5002.
Boundaries; Counties of 300,000 or less.
In counties of 300,000 inhabitants or less, where the county seat is
entirely located within the corporate limits of a city or village, the
boundaries of such county seat shall be the same as the boundaries of such
city or village, as the same are now or hereafter constituted. However, the
county board may by resolution adopted by a majority thereof extend the
boundaries of such county seat to add to the territorial area of such
county seat such unincorporated land in the county contiguous to the county
seat as the resolution may describe; but in no event may such extension
include any land situated more than one mile from the county seat as then
existing.
