History

Cypress was established in the late 1890s as a stop along the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad. A post office which had been operating at Gray's Mill (east of modern Cypress) was moved to the new location. The village's name is likely a reference to the cypress trees that grow in abundance in the Cache River basin.[4]

gollark: Also, on the topic of terrible device security, an old router I had had a similar security problem. There was a telnet management interface thing which I noticed had a `ps` command, and it seemed that some lazy/stupid programmer had just made it pass the arguments straight to `system` or something, because you could do `ps ; sh` and... get a root shell...
