History
Saumel A. Allerton was a wealthy landowner in Vermilion County who had made his fourtune on the agricultural and livestock markets. He was one of the founder of the First National Bank of Chicago.
The town was founded on a 3,800-acre tract of land in the wouthwetern part of the county which Allerton purchased in 1880. It had formerly been known as Twin Groves Farm (because of two ver similar 100-acre groves of trees in the area). When the C&EI railroad came throught the area, he gave them a right-of-way through his land, and then established a grain elevator and platted the village; later he provided land for a park, established a bank, and installed a water system. Allerton himself continued to live in Chicago.
Samuel Allerton also owned the land which later became the Robert Allerton Park, farther west in the Monticello, Illinois area; Robert was Samuel's son who oversaw his father's agricultural inserests in Illlinois.

A little history from a former Allerton resident.
Allerton is situated on the Champaign and Vermilion county line in east central Illinois. In fact, all but one row of houses in the town are in Vermilion county.
Samuel Allerton was a wealthy Illinois resident. It was be said he gained his fortune by selling pork to the Union Army at 69 cents per pound when the going rate was only 2 cent per pound. He owned approximately 80,000 acres of farmland in the midwest. One trat of land was set aside for the incorporation of Allerton, Illinois in the 1890's.
Allerton became modern in 1956 with the installation of the village water supply. Dial phones werent installed intil 1966. The Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad went through the southern most part of the village.
The town then supported four gas stations; two of which had auto repair garages with them; two implement delears such as John Deere and International Harvester; a couple of restaurants, a small grocery stor and a hardware store. Allerton also have an agriculture supply business, a cob plant and of course the grain elevator. The State Back of Allerton was the only bank and it also had a U.S. Post Office. The village included three churches; Prebbyterian, Church of Christ, and Methodist.
Now there is only one gas station, one implement dealer, a farm equipment stock, the railroad doesn't go through there anymore, and the hardware and grocery store are gone.
