'''Cypress''' is a village in [[Johnson County, Illinois|Johnson County]], [[Illinois]], [[United States]]. The population was 217 at the 2020 census.

==History==

Cypress was established in the late 1890s as a stop along the [[Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad]], a Class I railroad. A post office which had been operating at Gray's Mill (east of modern Cypress) was moved to the new location, a former bank. The village's name is likely a reference to the [[Taxodium distichum|cypress trees]] that grow in abundance in the [[Cache River (Illinois)|Cache River]] basin.<ref>Leorah May Copeland Chapman, ''[https://archive.org/details/historyofjohnson00chap A History of Johnson County, Illinois]'' (Press of the Herrin News, 1925), p. 291.</ref> Cypress Grade School was built in 1917, and was damaged by a tornado in [[Tornado outbreak of April 27–28, 2002|April 28, 2002]]. Around four years later, the current school was finished.

==Transportation==

No airports or bus systems are active in Cypress. Bicycling is common inside the village. Train tracks from the [[Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad]] remain, but have been abandoned since 1984.
