Fieldon is a village in Jersey County, Illinois, United States.

A short history of Fieldon

The town was founded in the 1830s by a man known as John Field. It is believed that the town grew as a trading post for travelers on the Illinois River. When the construction of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad made its way through the neighboring city of Jerseyville in 1853 it brought even more businesses to the area. During the Civil War Fieldon was a known stop for the Underground Railroad. The town also sent troops for the 122nd Illinois Infantry Regiment. In the early 1900s Feildon saw a boom in industry which included canneries, sawmills, and more. After the Great Depression the town saw its economy shift towards agriculture. Feildon saw a peak population in the 1980s at 299 individuals and has since seen a steady decline.
