Durham is an unincorporated community in Hancock County, Illinois, United States. Durham is 6miles west of La Harpe.
Durham was laid out in 1839.[1] A large share of the early settlers being natives of Durham, Connecticut caused the name to be selected. A post office was established at Durham in 1850, and remained in operation until 1905.[2]
