Goreville is a village in Johnson County, Illinois, United States.

A short history of Goreville

The village is named after John Gore, who bought 40 acres of land in the area from the United States Government in 1854. Gore operated a general store on the property. In 1866 a post office was built on the land and it was named Goreville in honor of him.

In 1898 the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad built a train line about a mile northeast of town. Some of the town's businesses moved closer to the tracks and others formed by the tracks as the town grew. The Village of Goreville officially incorporated on April 18, 1900, with a population of 406.
