Dry Hill is an unincorporated community in Jackson County, in the U.S. state of Illinois.[1]
A post office opened at Dry Hill in 1871, and remained in operation until 1877.[2] Some say the community was so named on account of its relatively high and dry elevation, while others believe the name may be derived from Samuel Dry, an early settler.[3]
