The city's daily newspaper, the Journal-Courier, is the oldest continuously published newspaper in Illinois (since 1830).

Jacksonville was a major stopping point on the historic Underground Railroad.

In 2005, Sufjan Stevens released Illinois, a concept album referencing various people and places associated with the state.

Jackson, a "colored preacher" urban legend supposes the town is named after. However, in truth, the town is named after President Andrew Jackson.
