History

Native American history

The Pottawatomi Tribe historically inhabited in the area of present-day Antioch prior to European settlement.Village of Antioch - History
The tribe was pushed to the west by European/American encroachment in the 1830s although remnants can still be found today.

European settlement

The first permanent European settlements in the region were along the creek, named as “Sequoit” which means “winding” in Indian. Darius and Thomas Gage brothers built the first cabin. After building a sawmill by Hiram Buttrick on Sequoit Creek, a tributary of the Fox River, the region became a center of commerce. In 1843, new settlers gave a biblical name “Antioch” to the region and started a school. The town grew as new settlers, primarily of English and German descent, established farms and businesses. In 1976, a replica of Buttrick's mill was built a few hundred feet downstream from where it once stood. Today, many local businesses and organizations as well as
