About Mahomet, Illinois
It was the first community to be established in modern day Champaign County. The original village name was Middletown, because it was half-way between the towns of Danville and Bloomington.
In 1871, the name of the village was changed to Mahomet because there was already another Middletown in Illinois, which was causing mail problems.
Most early settlers came from Ohio, Virginia, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania and chose to reside in Mahomet because there was abundant water from the Sangamon River and abundant trees. Currently, most residents commute 10 miles to the city of Champaign to work, although the village has a thriving small business district.
This Illinois town's name is derived from the "Mahomet Lodge," the local Masonic Lodge at the time the town was searching for a new name. Its use as the name of the lodge was a manifestation of the Freemasons' liberal use of religious names and stone mason tools and symbols.
Although the unusual spelling sometimes confuses newcomers, the pronunciation of Mahomet is muh-HOMM-it.
