History
Cypress was established in the late 1890s as a stop along the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad, a Class I railroad. In 1984, the railroad was abandoned. A post office which had been operating at Gray’s Mill (east of modern Cypress) was moved to the new location, a former bank. The village’s name is likely a reference to the cypress trees that grow in abundance in the Cache River basin. Cypress Grade School was built in 1917, before April 28, 2002, when a tornado hit the school. Around four years later, the current school was finished.
