Nevada is an unincorporated community in Livingston County, in the U.S. state of Illinois.
A post office called Nevada was established in 1870, and remained in operation until 1921.[1] Oakdale Reformatory for Women opened in 1930, later becoming the Dwight Correctional Center. 2013 brought the closing of the facility. The community was named after the state of Nevada.[2]
