Iola has yet to put a famous person on the list

The Illinois lists hold names for 748 towns. The longest list in Illinois is Alton’s, with 65 names. Champaign City Township has the second-longest list in Illinois, after Alton, with 64.

Who’s listed here

Famous people come from Wikidata (people whose birthplace is Iola), checked against each person’s English Wikipedia article and ranked by how many Wikipedia languages cover them. Nobody born in Iola has passed that check yet, and nobody born within 35 miles is listed.
