Our Village is located on U.S. Route 47, nine miles South of Interstate 80 and nine miles North of Interstate 55.  The Village is currently registered by the State of Illinois as the center of Population in the State of Illinois.

Our Village was established in 1876 under a government land grant.  Mazon’s early history was very important for the area’s growth with the Chicago-Bloomington Trail.  Travelers would stay at the Halfway House prior to the development of the Illinois Michigan Canal.  Today, Mazon has a population of 1,100 people.  The Village has several small subdivisions to attract additional growth.
