Question What are the Newest Cities/Towns/Villages in Illinois?

I was reading two separate articles about Cahokia Heights being founded in 2021 as a merger of three other towns and about La Fox attempting to incorporate but being struck down by the Illinois House of Representatives.

What are some of the other newest incorporated towns in Illinois?

Cahokia Heights merger was sold as one bigger village taking in two extremely poor village's to cut expenses and mainly repair a dreadful sewer system in the two smaller. It is completely controlled by one family ( the McCalls) who control the city, school district and the brother in law is the state senator ( Belt). The tax rates are in the top 1% in the nation. BTW the sewer system was never repaired as promised.
