Meyer is an unincorporated community and census designated place (CDP) in Adams County, Illinois, United States. It has a population of approximately 10 full-time residents as of mid-2009, due to the flood of 2008.[2] The community is part of the Quincy, IL–MO Micropolitan Statistical Area. It is the westernmost community in Illinois.

Meyer sits in a fertile flood plain along the east bank of the Mississippi River in northwestern Adams County.[3] The river plays a significant role in the area's local economy. A large grain elevator lies to the south of the community.[4]

Less than a mile from Meyer is the Canton, Missouri ferry landing that connects the community with the state of Missouri.[4] The ferry ceased operation in the spring of 2014.[5]

Meyer has been affected by floods throughout its history, the most notable occurring in 1944 and 1993.[6] The community was again affected during an extensive flood event in June 2008.

On June 18, the Meyer levee was compromised, although most of the residents had left following a voluntary order earlier in the week.[7]
