Wilsonville, IL

Wilsonville is a quiet village of around 500 people tucked away in southern Macoupin County. Sitting along Route 138, it offers a peaceful rural setting with open country and the wooded ravine of Cahokia Creek along the western edge of town. It is an easy drive to neighboring communities like Bunker Hill and Mount Clare, while the county seat of Carlinville is a short trip north for broader shopping, dining, and municipal services.

The town got its start in the early 1900s as a coal hub, when the Superior Coal Company drew workers from across Europe to settle here and raise families. That hardworking heritage still gives the village its down-to-earth feel. Today, Wilsonville offers a slow-paced lifestyle where residents enjoy quiet residential streets, affordable living, and easy access to the surrounding region.
