Alvin is a village in South Ross Township, Vermilion County, Illinois, United States. It is part of the 'Danville, Illinois Metropolitan Statistical Area'. The population was 316 at the 2000 census[1].
HistoryA settlement was founded in 1872 about a mile south of present-day Alvin, along the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad railroad, and was called Gilbert in honor of the founder, Alvan Gilbert. In 1875, the new Havana, Rantoul and Eastern Railroad (which became the Illinois Central Railroad) crossed the C&EI north of Gilbert, and the town of Alvan was founded at the intersection. Tradition says that the town's name became Alvin (with an "i" instead of an "a") because the post office mis-spelled it and refused to correct the error.[2] In 1942 a tornado struck Alvin and caused much destruction, killing six people. A marker in the town commemorates the tragic event and reads as follows: Alvin Tornado  GeographyAlvin is located on County Road 3 about 2 miles north of Bismarck, Illinois.
