Woodbury is a small place in Illinois, United States. It is not a city or a town with its own local government. Instead, it is known as an unincorporated community. This means it is a group of homes and buildings that are part of a larger county, not a separate town.

Where is Woodbury?

Woodbury is located in Cumberland County, Illinois. You can find it near U.S. Route 40, which is a major road. If you travel about 3 miles (or 5 kilometers) west-southwest from a nearby place called Jewett, you will reach Woodbury.

What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community like Woodbury does not have its own local government. This means it does not have a mayor or a town council. Instead, the county government, which is Cumberland County in this case, takes care of services for the area. These services can include things like roads and public safety.
