About Standard City

Located about ten minutes northeast of Carlinville, Standard City is a quiet Macoupin County village surrounded by open Illinois farmland. Originally founded as a coal-mining settlement tied to Standard Oil in the early 1900s, the community is now home to around 135 people. It offers a calm, slow-paced rural lifestyle where you can enjoy wide skies and low traffic, all while keeping the grocery stores, schools, and historic square of Carlinville within easy reach.
