Settled in 1832 on the banks of the Sangamon River, Mahomet is the oldest community in Champaign County.  A rural residential community with thriving business areas, Mahomet appeals to those in search of an atmosphere of country living, shopping, and working with added convenience of a cosmopolitan environment just 10 miles away from Champaign-Urbana.

     Tales of the early days on the Grand Prairie are brought to mind while exploring the antique shops on old Main Street or the Early American Museum.  Quality shops, a variety of restaurants and services, camping, a covered bridge, excellent outdoor activities, an award-winning golf course and many other qualities attract visitors and new residents to Mahomet.

     The Village of Mahomet, local businesses, and Lake of the Woods Park welcomes you to our friendly village.
