About Nebo

Nebo is a quiet Pike County village of under 300 residents with a quirky claim to fame. Originally settled in the 1830s and later shaped by the railroad, the town unexpectedly entered the aviation history books in 1911 when pilot Cal Rodgers landed his plane just north of town during the first transcontinental flight. Today, locals still celebrate that milestone every August with a town festival, keeping a friendly, tight-knit spirit alive in this peaceful corner of western Illinois.
