Panola, Illinois

Panola is a village in Woodford County, Illinois, United States. The population was 45 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Peoria, Illinois Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Panola is one of the smallest communities in Illinois today. It is located about north of El Paso, along Illinois Route 251 (next to U.S. 51).
== History ==

The name "Panola" was fabricated by J.B. Calhoun, land commissioner of the Illinois Central Railroad, by arbitrarily combining single consonants and vowels (Stewart, pg. 362). This idea of where the name Panola came from is an urban legend. Many Woodford County history books repeat this legend, but other editions including the 1954 El Paso Story have it right. The name Panola was indeed assigned by an official of the Illinois Central Railroad, but the railroad also passes through Panola County, Mississippi and there are several municipalities in the southern U.S. named Panola. Panola is a Native American word for cotton.
Because of its aging population and apparent lack of enthusiasm for others to be involved in operation of the local government, in 2004 the village board of Panola attempted to unincorporate the town. Only one other town in Illinois had successfully unincorporated previously. Of the 33 residents at the time, 27 had voting rights. The measure failed 16 to 11. It needed a majority to pass.
