The community was established in 1836 with a log tavern and a highway connecting

According to Joseph R. Adams in the May 28, 1896, edition of the ''Kendall County News'', "Though ten miles from a railroad, the villagers appear not wanting. They appear to be living better and happier than those differently situated."
