Cheneyville is an unincorporated community in Grant Township, Vermilion County, Illinois.
Cheneyville was founded in 1871 and platted in 1880. It was named for J. H. Cheney, the vice-president of the Lake Erie and Western Railroad. A telephone system was installed in 1888 and soon had to be expanded due to rising demand.[2]
