population of approximately 1,300 people.
The 2000 census showed Aviston grew 33% from the 1990 census.
The village offers an
Illinois Bright A+

various luxuries that prove it will
continue to grow with the future. Residents of Aviston take
great pride in their community and this is proven by the numerous
volunteer organizations.

major interstate highway, several major highways are nearby: I-64 to the south, I-70 to the north, I-57 to the east, I-55 to the
west, and New US Rt. 50 runs through the
heart of Aviston. Aviston's growth, kindness, and location
make it a great place for business and living.
