[edit] Location

New City is widely recognized by local residents as being the small area surrounding the intersection of County Highway 40 (recognized as Cardinal Hill Road/New City-Pawnee Road) and County Highway 37 (recognized as New City-Chatham/New City-Sangchris). It is located a short distance from Rochester, Illinois and the much larger Springfield, Illinois. Most residents who live in or near New City have Rochester, IL mailing addresses under the zip code "62563". Some residents living to the south of the town are under the Pawnee mailing system.

[edit] Schools

Further information: List of school districts in Illinois

New City and most the surrounding area is part of the Ball-Chatham School District. It borders Rochester School District to the north, Pawnee School District to the south, and the Kincaid School District farther east.

[edit] Local government

Not having a village government or officials, New City is governed locally by Cotton Hill Township and Sangamon County. While major roads and police protection are provided by the county, smaller roads and general assistance are provided by the township.

[edit] Local industry and commerce

New City is almost entirely agricultural, surrounded by many farms who mostly grow corn and soybeans.

Located in the center of town is the New City Community Church (a non-specific Christian church). New City also has a fishing bait and tackle shop located not far from the main intersection. This is visited mostly by visitors to the nearby Sangchris Lake State Park. At one time, there was a greenhouse in New City, but it has since closed.

[edit] Hunter Lake

Much of Cotton Hill Township, and part of New City potentially could be under water if the City of Springfield goes through with plans to create Hunter Lake, a reservoir of sorts that would be used by city utilities. The City of Springfield has purchased much of the land that would be affected by the lake, but several local residents and a pet cemetery are areas of contention for the project. Construction by the Army Corps of Engineers has not yet begun, and the project has been discussed for over a decade, leading some to believe that the city will not go through with the project.
