History

Around the year 1880 the Chicago and North Western Railway built through this area in south-east Clark County to take care of local sawmills. There was a sawmill about a mile east of where the railroad had put in a siding called Cedarhurst. Another such sawmill was built at the present-day CDP of Chili, and grew to be a rather extensive operation. One blistering, cold day during the winter of 1881, the railroad officials came here for the purpose of choosing a name for the then-hamlet. It was so wintry cold they did not want to step foot out of the train, it was then that one of them is supposed to have said, "Let's call this stop Chili because it is really chilly here."[4] On another account, the community is also said to be named after the country Chile, in South America.[5]

A post office called Chili has been in operation since 1892.[6]
