About Dewey
Dewey is a small, quiet community in central Illinois, set among the open farmland of Champaign County. Home to just around a hundred residents, the town originally sprouted in the late 1870s as a railroad stop and grain depot. It has kept that low-key, agricultural character through the decades. For anyone looking for wide-open spaces and peaceful country living, Dewey offers a relaxed rural setting that is still an easy drive from Champaign-Urbana.
