Braceville is a village in Will County, Illinois, United States, with a portion in Grundy County. The population was 793 at the 2010 census.
Braceville was founded under the name "Sulphur Springs" by Reverend L. S. Robbins in 1834. In 1848, after Robbin's death, the town elected its first official supervisor, B. R. Dowd, who changed the name to Braceville after his home town of Braceville Township, Ohio. When coal was discovered in the region, residents became interested in the mining industry. However, no mines have ever been opened, and gradually, the town shifted its focus on other industries. The population has fluctuated over time, but is now growing at a steady rate. [3]
According to the 2010 census, Braceville has a total area of 2.874 square miles (7.44 km2), of which 2.81 square miles (7.28 km2) (or 97.77%) is land and 0.064 square miles (0.17 km2) (or 2.23%) is water. [4]
