About Neponset

Neponset is a village in Bureau County, Illinois, United States. The 2020 census counted 427 residents. Neponset is part of the Ottawa Micropolitan Statistical Area. In 1836, English settlers William and Ann Studley were the first to arrive in the area. Neponset makes sense once you see how its past, landscape, and current gathering spots overlap. The useful thing to know about Neponset is that its older landmarks and current settings belong to one connected place. By 1840, additional settlers arrived, originally naming the settlement Brawby after the village they had left in England.
