Jeffersonville, IL

If you're exploring Wayne County, you'll quickly notice that the village of Jeffersonville almost always goes by Geff. Pronounced just like "Jeff," the shorter name stuck after the railroad adopted it to avoid confusion with Jeffersonville, Indiana. You'll see Geff on highway signs, map apps, and the local post office. Home to around 350 residents, it's a quiet, friendly community where the main thing newcomers need to know is that both names refer to the exact same place.
