History
This section needs additional citations for verification. (April 2012) |
In 1830, Bailey Hobson,[4] a Quaker, was the first settler in what would become DuPage County, Illinois, as well as Lisle Township. The town of Lisle was permanently settled in 1832, by brothers James C. Hatch[5] and Luther A. Hatch after the close of the Black Hawk War. The two brothers acquired land near what is now Ogden Avenue and began a small farming community named "DuPage" or "East DuPage" because, of its proximity to the east branch of the DuPage River. To the west of Hatchs' settlement of Dupage, the largest and oldest community in the region, to become DuPage County, was founded in 1831, on the west branch of the DuPage River, by brothers Joseph and John Naper which, was Naper Settlement, present-day Naperville, Illinois.
Lisle experienced many firsts in the 1830s. In 1832, James C. Hatch set aside some of his land for the first and only community burial ground in the East DuPage Settlement. Today, Lisle Cemetery is one of the oldest registered cemeteries in the state of Illinois. Hatch operated the first wagon and blacksmith shop and began Lisle's infant dairy industry with a creamery. Formed in 1833, the East DuPage Religious Society had a circuit rider preacher with house churches and was the first Christian organization in DuPage County, which later became the First Congregational Church of DuPage in 1842. The first post office was managed by John Thompson in 1834, and the first log schoolhouse was constructed in that same year and later replaced, in 1837, with a frame structure.
DuPage, Illinois, was within the Webster and Naperville Precincts of the newly formed DuPage County in 1839, the county having been formed from western Cook County. In 1849,[6] DuPage County formed its first townships, and the name Lisle was first proposed by early settler Alonzo B. Chatfield of Lisle, New York;[7] the proposal was accepted, creating Lisle Township. The village was incorporated on June 26, 1956,[6] and was also named after Lisle, New York.[8]
Another source says that the town was called DuPage, after the river running through it. There was a town in Will County of the same name, which made the townspeople rename their town Lisle in 1850 after the late S. Lisle Smith of Chicago.[9]
The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad arrived, in 1864, with the newly constructed depot. In 1874, a fire destroyed the Lisle Station depot, but it was later rebuilt by the CB&Q Railroad. Today, commuter rail service is provided by Metra
On the July 4 2006, Lisle celebrated its 50th birthday by hosting the state's biggest fireworks display.[2]
