==History==
Richard Bankston first settled in the area of Spillertown in 1812 and entered the southwest quarter of Section 6, Township 9 South, Range 3 East, on August 4, 1817. Elijah N. Spiller, who along with three other brothers arrived in what would become Williamson County a year earlier, bought Bankston's improvements and the area soon became known for the Spiller family. His home stood on the old road that ran between Marion and Benton. In the earliest day it was known as the Harmony road as settlers would take it north to Garret's Tavern, the old county seat of Franklin County, then east to New Harmony, Indiana. The community had a history of excellent schools under the old Spillertown District 54. The last school building now serves as a community building, village hall and polling place.
With the development of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad in 1895 and coal mines around the turn of the century, Marion dry goods merchant Noah Payne platted the heart of the village soon thereafter. James F. Reid operated a post office in Spillertown from March 5 to August 20, 1898. It reopened on December 9, 1898 and lasted until Feb. 15, 1914. The village is now served by the post office in Marion.
The community incorporated as a village on March 3, 1900.〔Barbara Burr Hubbs. 1939, reprint 1979. ''Pioneer Folk and Places''.
