The population was 268 at the 2000 census, and dropped to 248 in the 2010 census. This village dissolved in 2014.[1] History{{Refimprove section|date=April 2012}}Whiteash began as a coal mining community around the Chicago and Marion Coal Company's mine organized by Charles A. Gent of nearby Marion, Illinois. In 1903, Gent bought the site of the village from Samuel K. Casey, publisher of the Egyptian Press newspaper also of Marion. He in turn had inherited it from his grandfather George W. Binkley who had homesteaded the land and entered it with the government in 1837. Gent platted the village on July 3, 1903 in the northwest corner of Section 31, Township 8 South, Range 3 East of the Third Principal Meridian, also known as Lake Creek Precinct. He named the town Whiteash after the trade name he used for the coal his mine produced. A post office opened there on February 29, 1904 with Robert T. Payne as postmaster. Residents incorporated the village the following year on June 16, 1905. The mine operated until 1922 when it filled with water and was abandoned. Mail service continued for another decade or so, finally closing on November 30, 1934. The population in 1960 was 160.[2][3] GeographyWhiteash is located at {{coord|37|47|18|N|88|55|35|W|type:city}} (37.788300, -88.926450).[4] According to the 2010 census, Whiteash has a total area of {{convert|0.884|sqmi|sqkm|2}}, of which {{convert|0.86|sqmi|sqkm|2}} (or 97.29%) is land and {{convert|0.024|sqmi|sqkm|2}} (or 2.71%) is water.[5] Demographics{{US Census population|1910= 353 |1920= 381 |1930= 237 |1940= 206 |1950= 204 |1960= 160 |1970= 181 |1980= 268 |1990= 249 |2000= 268 |2010= 241 |estyear=2014 |estimate=240 |estref=[6] |footnote=U.S. Census[7] }} As of the census[8] of 2000, there were 268 people, 114 households, and 80 families residing in the village.
