Cypress is a village in Johnson County, Illinois, United States. The population was 234 at the 2010 census. [3]
Cypress was established in the late 1890s as a stop along the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad, a Class I railroad. In 1984, the railroad was abandoned. A post office which had been operating at Gray's Mill (east of modern Cypress) was moved to the new location, a former bank. The village's name is likely a reference to the cypress trees that grow in abundance in the Cache River basin. [4] Cypress Grade School was built in 1917, before April 28, 2002, when a tornado hit the school. Around four years later, the current school was finished.
No airports or bus systems are active in Cypress. Bicycling is common inside the village. Remains of train tracks from the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad lay, but are currently abandoned and not in use.
