§ 18-1800 Change of name. The name of a village may be changed upon
the adoption of a proposition therefor at an annual or special election.
The proposition must contain the proposed new name, and be accompanied
by written notice to the United States Postal Service of such change. If
the proposition be adopted a certificate thereof, attested by the mayor
and clerk of the village, shall, within ten days after the election, be
filed in the office of such clerk, in the office of the county clerk of
each county in which any part of the village is situated, and also in
the office of the secretary of state. The change of name takes effect
upon the filing of the certificate in the office of the village clerk.
