You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Maeystown''' is a village in [[Monroe County, Illinois|Monroe County]], [[Illinois]], [[United States]]. The population was 150 at the 2020 census.<ref name="Census 2020"/>

==Geography==
Maeystown is located southwest of the center of Monroe County at ((coord|38|13|32|N|90|14|1|W)) (38.225552, -90.233486).<ref name="GR1">((cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/gazetteer-files.html|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|access-date=2011-04-23|date=2011-02-12|title=US Gazetteer files: 2010, 2000, and 1990))</ref> It is ((convert|9|mi|0)) southwest of [[Waterloo, Illinois|Waterloo]], the [[county seat]]. It sits in the valley of Maeystown Creek, which flows into the floodplain of the [[Mississippi River]] ((convert|2|mi|0)) to the southwest.

According to the [[U.S. Census Bureau]], the village has a total area of ((convert|0.30|sqmi)), of which ((convert|0.002|sqmi|3)), or 0.67%, are water.<ref name="CenPopGazetteer2022"/>

==History==
((More citations needed section|date=April 2012))
The history of the tract of land where what is now Maeystown is situated, began sometime after 1782, when a soldier of the American Revolution, one James McRoberts, staked a claim of ((convert|100|acre)) (Survey 704; Claim 316). He subsequently left the [[Illinois Territory]] for [[Tennessee]], where he married Mary Fletcher-Harris, and returned in 1797, adding another ((convert|100|acre|km2)) to his holdings. It was on this second tract that he built his home, from cedar logs, and here he raised his family. McRoberts fathered ten children, the eldest, [[Samuel McRoberts]], being the first native-born Illinoisan to serve in the [[United States Senate]].

Maeystown may be said to have begun its growth as a town in the year 1852, when Jacob Maeys built a [[sawmill]] on what had become known as McRoberts Meadow, which he purchased in 1848. For a year after its construction the mill remained idle, on account of there not being sufficient water to drive it. [[Steam engine]]s were then put in place, and the mill successfully operated. The first store was opened in 1858 by Jacob Maeys in partnership with Judge Abraham Poston. By this time some half a dozen houses had been erected in the place. A town had been surveyed and laid off in 1856 by Maeys, and called "Maeysville". A post office was established in 1860, which changed the name to Maeystown, with Jacob Maeys appointed as first [[postmaster]].<ref>''Combined History of Randolph, Monroe and Perry Counties, Illinois'', J. L. McDonough & Co., Philadelphia, 1883</ref>

The entire village, save for a small strip of land on the northeast side, is listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] as the Maeystown Historic District.<ref>((NRISref|2010a))</ref><ref>((cite web|last=Wagner|first=Robert|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory - Nomination Form: Maeystown Historic District|url=http://gis.hpa.state.il.us/pdfs/200227.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140223180557/http://gis.hpa.state.il.us/pdfs/200227.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 23, 2014|publisher=[[National Park Service]]|access-date=February 13, 2014|date=January 22, 1978))</ref>
