About Modesto

Modesto is a quiet rural village tucked away in northern Macoupin County along Illinois Route 111. Originally established in the late 1800s as a railroad stop, it is now a peaceful farming community with a slow-paced, friendly atmosphere. Route 111 serves as the town's Main Street, giving residents an easy drive north toward Waverly or south to Palmyra for everyday errands. If you are looking for wide-open countryside and classic small-town quiet, Modesto offers simple rural living far from the rush of the city.
