Beckemeyer is a village in Wade Township, Clinton County, Illinois, United States. The population was 1,040 as of the 2010 census. == History == Samuel B. Watkins was reported to be the first settler in the area, ''circa'' 1817. Beckemeyer began as a way station on the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad. It was organized and laid out in 1866 and originally named "Buxton" in honor of a railroad attorney. A large coal seam underlying the village and surrounding area was mined starting in 1894, resulting in growth of Buxton. It was renamed "Beckemeyer" after an election held in 1905. The first school and bank were opened in 1906.〔(Village of Beckemeyer website )〕〔(1913 Clinton County Commercial History )〕
