Tipton, Illinois is a small unincorporated community in New Design Precinct of Monroe County, Illinois. It grew up around the Cambria Station on the St. Louis and Cairo Railroad. The community there, settled by persons of Irish descent was called Tipperary, which degenerated over time through Tiptown, to the current Tipton.
