Sublette is a village in Lee County, Illinois, United States. The population is estimated at 432 as of 2014. Sublette is home to a private camping resort known as Woodhaven Lakes.
The earliest references to Sublette as a town are from plat maps dating to the 1850s. At this point in time, Sublette was known as Hanno (named for Hanau, Prussia), it was a small cluster of houses just north of the settlement at Knox Grove.
In 1854, the Illinois Central Railroad built a line running through the settlement known as Hanno and constructed a depot there for passenger and freight services. A plat map from the following year lists the town's name as being "Soublette" or the "Town of Soublett". The town name was officially changed to Sublette by an act of Legislation in 1857. The name is unaffiliated with the town being sub-let by the railroad, it likely traces back to an Americanized spelling of the French surname Soblet.
