About Lovington
Lovington is a quiet village in central Illinois with roots dating back to the 1830s, when it started as a stagecoach stop along the old Springfield Road. Named after its first postmaster, Andrew Love, the community grew around the intersection of what are now State Routes 32 and 133. Today, those same routes make it easy for residents to get around the region while enjoying a relaxed, small-town atmosphere.
With a population of just over 1,000, Lovington sits in northern Moultrie County, about nine miles north of Sullivan and a short drive from Decatur. Families are served by the Arthur Lovington Atwood Hammond school district, which unites several nearby towns for classes and sports. For those seeking quiet rural living, friendly neighbors, and open space, Lovington makes a comfortable place to settle down.
