About McNabb

Place in Illinois, United States

Official town website ↗

McNabb is a village in Putnam County, Illinois, United States. As of the 2020 census, McNabb had a population of 275. It is part of the Ottawa Micropolitan Statistical Area. Just outside of McNabb is the Clear Creek Meeting House, one of the few surviving western Quaker meeting houses. The Meeting House once hosted local abolitionists, such as Benjamin Lundy. In 1900, the Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa Railroad wanted a station in Magnolia Township. Hon. J. M. McNabb, at that time county judge, promoted it and the resulting station and town were named after him. Today the Toluca, Marquette & Northern Railroad also runs through the town.
