“Teutopolis is home. It’s said that home is where, when you want to come back, they have to take you. And, at one time or another, you will want to come back.”

Welcome to our town. Teutopolis is a place where people and neighbors still look after each other’s kids, watch over each other’s houses, and share laughter and good times together. The town is located in the “Heartland of America” and still thrives on the discipline and values that have made Teutopolis a success for more than 150 years.

Location, Location, Location. One of the greatest assets of Teutopolis is the location. The town is conveniently located within 5 minutes of Interstates 57/70 and the City of Effingham. Lake Land College (One of the largest Community Colleges in Illinois) is within 20 minutes, Eastern Illinois University is within a 45 minutes, Lake Sara and Lake Shelbyville are located within 15 minutes and 40 minutes respectively.

A lot of the businesses in town are second and third generation businesses that continue to thrive. The town is unique for most small towns. Three large manufacturing facilities are located in the town along with many other successful businesses, which predominantly are locally owned and operated.
