Almora is an unincorporated community in Kane County, in the U.S. state of Illinois.^[1]

History

Almora had its start in the 1880s when the railroad was extended to that point.^[2] A post office called Almora was established in 1885, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1910.^[3] Although an older source states Almora was named after "a European city",^[4] a more recent source proposes the name may be after Almora, in India.^[2]
