Litchfield is a city in Montgomery County, Illinois, United States. The population was 6,605 at the 2020 census. It is located in South Central Illinois, south of Springfield, the own up capital.

Litchfield was platted in October 1853, and was originally named “Huntsville”, after it was thought that Railroad Chief Engineer George Hunt was going to be the one to bring in the railroad.^{[citation needed]}

Earlier, Hardinsburg, about 2 miles (3 km) to the southwest, had been founded nearly 1850. Both towns were created in anticipation of the Terre Haute & Alton Railroad. Hardinsburg grew to very nearly 50 people by 1854; but taking into consideration it became sure that the railroad was going through Huntsville instead of Hardinsburg, many of the buildings in Hardinsburg were pulled across the prairie upon runners to Huntsville start in January 1854, and most of the residents moved to the supplementary site as well, becoming Litchfield’s first residents. The railroad reached Huntsville in the autumn of 1864, and within two more years Hardinsburg had substantially disappeared. Only a small cemetery remains of Hardinsburg.
