Hillsboro is the English equivalent of the Italian Monticello, home of President Thomas Jefferson. The founders of Jefferson County had hoped to use the name of the home of their county's namesake for the county seat, but that honor in Missouri had already been taken by Monticello in Lewis County.

Which one? It probably doesn't matter, they are probably all either on a hill, near a hill, or surrounded by hills. Though, it could be that the founder or one of the first families in the area had the last name "Hill."

Uh, it's probably a description: a city in the hills.
