History

Colp was established in the early 1900s and named for John Colp (1849–1920), whose mining company opened a mine in the area in 1901. The Illinois Central Railroad extended a line to the mine in 1904. The village incorporated in 1915.

Colp mayor Frank Caliper was one of the state’s longest-serving elected officials. He served 52 years as mayor from 1935 until his death on March 28, 1987.
