For a year after its construction the mill remained idle on account of there not being sufficient water to drive it. The population was 148 at the 2000 census.
The history of the tract of land where what is now Maeystown is situated, began sometime after 1782, when a soldier of the American Revolution, one James McRoberts, staked a claim of 100 acres (Survey 704; Claim 316), he subsequently left the Illinois Territory for Tennessee, where he married Mary Fletcher-Harris, and returned in 1797, adding another 100 acres to his holdings. The first store was opened in 1858 by Jacob Maeys in partnership with Judge Abraham Poston. A post-office was established in 1860 which changed the name to Maeystown with Jacob Maeys appointed as first postmaster. Maeystown may be said to have begun its growth as a town in the year 1852, when Jacob Maeys here built a sawmill on what had become known as McRoberts Meadow, which he purchased in 1848.
