Ira Woods and his family settled in Avon in 1835. Avon was named Woodsville from 1837 to 1843. In 1843, the town became big enough to ask for a post office. The name was then changed to Woodstock. Then on April 4,1852 the postmaster gave the town the name of Avon to avoid confusion. It is speculated Avon got its name from Stratford-upon-Avon in England but this has been unconfirmed. Avon was once a thriving town, due in part to the railroad industry, by serving as a method of transporting cattle to the slaughterhouses in Chicago and also as a stop between Chicago and Quincy.
