When the [[Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad]] was built through the area in 1866 it caused an increase in population and goods. Milledgeville was incorporated as a village in 1886. The original mill was torn down in 1908.<ref>{{cite web |title=Our History |url=https://milledgevilleil.net/history |website=Village of Milledgeville, Carroll County, Illinois |publisher=Stahr Media |access-date=July 20, 2024}}</ref> The population peaked in the 1960s and has since seen a slow decline. ==Geography== Milledgeville is located at {{coord|41|57|50|N|89|46|28|W|type:city}} (41.963763, -89.774372).<ref name="GR1">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/gazetteer-files.html|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|accessdate=April 23, 2011|date=February 12, 2011|title=US Gazetteer files: 2010, 2000, and 1990}}</ref> According to the 2021 census gazetteer files, Milledgeville has a total area of {{convert|0.69|sqmi|km2|2}}, all land.<ref name="gaz2021">{{Cite web |publisher=United States Census Bureau |title=Gazetteer Files |url=https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/gazetteer-files.html |access-date=June 29, 2022 |website=Census.gov}}</ref> The nearest shopping and commerce area to the village is in the towns of Sterling and Rock Falls, about 12 miles south of downtown Milledgeville, while the closest major shopping, entertainment, and city amenities are in [[Rockford, Illinois|Rockford]], which is about 45 miles to the northeast of downtown Milledgeville.
