No. 9, Illinois

No. 9, Illinois

No. 9 is a predominately African-American unincorporated community located in Williamson County, Illinois on the west side of the incorporated village of Colp. Historically, Colp was mostly white and No. 9 black. Its most famous establishment was Ma Hatchett's, operated by Johanna "Ma" Hatchett (1892–1961), a roadhouse and brothel that opened during Prohibition Era at least as early as 1927 and operated until closed following a raid by the Illinois State Police in 1957.[1][2]

It is named for the local coal mine that open in 1905 and was bought by Madison Coal Company in 1906. The latter company named it their "No. 9" mine.[3]
