History
Illmo had its start in 1905 with construction of the nearby Thebes Bridge which connects Illinois and Missouri.[1] The name Illmo is a contraction of Illinois and Missouri.[2] A post office called Illmo was established in 1904, and remained in operation until 1982.[3] Illmo was annexed by Scott City in 1980.[4]
When Scott City and Illmo consolidated, the residents participated in a referendum where they selected the name "Scott City". The Daily Journal stated that the name was "overwhelmingly" selected.[5]

Geography
Illmo was located in the northern portion of Scott County about a mile west and three miles south of the Mississippi River. The municipalities of Fornfelt and Ancell border it to the west and the village of Commerce lies 5 miles southeast.[8]
Education
In 1905 the Illmo School District began operations.[9] There was an Illmo High School and an Illmo Elementary School. In 1947 the Illmo school district and the Fornfelt school district combined. This district then combined with Ancell,[10] and reorganized, in 1954, to an R-1 status, becoming the Illmo-Fornfelt-Ancell School District.[9]
In September 1957,[11] a new high school for that district had opened.[12] Previously, Illmo had its own elementary school, but with the opening of the new high school, the previous three elementary schools were to consolidate into the former high school building.[13]
The Daily Standard stated that the new Illmo-Fornfelt-Ancell high school building was the most expensive of the circa 15 new schools to open in the area in the 1957-1958 school year.[14]
After Fornfelt and Ancell consolidated into Scott City, the district's name changed to the Illmo-Scott City School District.[10]
