Oblong is a village in Crawford County, Illinois, United States. The population was 1,466 at the 2010 census. The village says that it is "The Only Oblong" in the world. It is the home of the Illinois Oil Field Museum and Resource Center at Oblong, Illinois, a collection of early oilfield artifacts from the early days of the oil industry in the Illinois Basin and a resource center featuring a collection of early oil field records and resource books. Oblong also hosts one of Illinois's largest night time parades. Along with the night time parade, a band competition called "Spooktacular" is hosted annually the last week in October. Oblong has one public four year high school and one public grade school. ==History== Oblong was incorporated in 1883.〔''Columbia-Lippincott Gazeteer''. 1952 Edition, p. 1362〕 The village was originally a crossroads, notable only for its general store, owned by Henry Peck. The store featured a prominent sign, "Hen. Peck" and people of the area referred to the crossroads as "Henpeck." When the village decided to incorporate, it was decided that Henpeck would be an unsuitable name, and it was named after a rectangular prairie on the outskirts of the community.
