The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Floyd Township is located in Warren County, Illinois, United States. As of the 2010 census, its population was 472 and it contained 207 housing units.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 472 to 406 (-14%). Half of its homes were built before 1942.

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Floyd yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Nothing in Floyd is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Floyd has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Minnie Stewart House in Monmouth, 8.6 miles away.
