| City Info | Villa Grove is a city in Douglas County, Illinois, along the Embarras River. The population was 2,537 at the 2010 census. Villa Grove was chartered in 1903 after the area was recognized by the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad as being exactly halfway between Chicago and St. Louis. This made it a desirable location for a steam locomotive repair facility. Villa Grove later became the site of a C&EI division headquarters and roundhouse. Villa Grove was also known for its Pancake Festivals in the 1940s, which drew crowds over 10,000. In the 1970s, the festival was replaced by the Ag Days celebration. In 1923, Villa Grove's high school basketball team, the Blue Devils, defeated Rockford 32-29 to win the Illinois High School Boys Basketball Championship. Source: Wikipedia |
