Founded in 1814 by the Wheelock brothers, this charming village was originally called Ripley, named in honor of General Ripley. The Wheelock brothers even offered free land to make Ripley the state capital during the Illinois Constitutional Convention—a generous gesture that shaped early state politics. Today, Old Ripley maintains its small-town character while serving as an important part of Bond County's agricultural landscape, which has remained the economic backbone of the region for over two centuries.
The community is steeped in 19th-century history, with seven historic cemeteries scattered throughout the township including Mount Nebo Old, Brown Cemetery, and Robinson Cemetery, each marking generations of families who built their lives here. Nance Airport, located within Old Ripley Township, continues to serve the local aviation community. The area's development alongside Shoal Creek shaped the community's water resources and farming heritage. Most residents live in homes they own, maintaining the tight-knit rural values that define this Bond County village.
