==History==
The community was established in 1855 when the newly completed Central Military Tract Railroad (later renamed the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad) built a station there. Soon afterward, the U.S. Post Office was moved to Neponset from Brawby, a hamlet formerly located two miles north of the present village. The Village of Neponset, as a municipality, dates from 1864 when a charter of incorporation was granted by the Illinois General Assembly.
Neponset was named for the Massachusetts hometown of Myron Lee, the railroad's first agent at the Neponset station. One of the highest points (if not the highest point) between Chicago and the Mississippi River on the mainline of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad (now the Burlington Northern Santa Fe) is just outside of Neponset.
Much of the farmland surrounding Neponset is currently devoted to production of corn and soybeans. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Neponset was noted as a center of livestock production, particularly hogs. Hogs shipped from Neponset were noted by buyers in the Chicago livestock markets both for their numbers and superior quality, years before nearby Kewanee was proclaimed the "Hog Capital".
