In the 1970s, the village developed land west of the expressway in Schaumburg Township along with industrial development into Addison Township. It was named after Ira Rupley, an executive vice president at Centex who helped lead the early development of the village. Rupley Elementary was the first school to be constructed in Elk Grove Village. As the village expanded to the south and west, new roads, schools, and parks were added to the community. By the end of the decade, most of the land between O'Hare Airport and I-290/IL-53 was developed. The village easily doubled in size during the 1960s. The original boundaries of Elk Grove Village's residential area were Higgins Road ( Illinois Route 72) on the north, State Road (now Arlington Heights Road) on the west, Landmeier Road on the south, and Wildwood Road on the east. In 2018 the land was sold to be developed into the Elk Grove Technology Park. Busse Farm was the final undeveloped agricultural property in the village, located between Higgins Road and Oakton Street, and was at one time considered as a location for a new Chicago Bears stadium, to replace the aging Soldier Field. Many of the major streets in and around the village are named for these farmers. Prior to its development as a residential community, it was home to many farmers and their families (mostly German immigrants). As part of the original planning concept, the village was to be home to separated residential and industrial areas (the latter of which would later become the largest industrial park in the United States). The majority of houses were constructed by Centex Corporation. The village was formally incorporated in 1956 in Elk Grove Township, and was founded as a planned suburban community. His wife and daughter often baked cookies which they would trade with the Potawatomi for venison and game. He maintained friendly relations with the remaining Potawatomi, who gave him a firebrand. Government purchased the land for about 15 cents per acre, and then resold it to white settlers for 1.25 dollars per acre.Īaron Miner, a revolutionary war veteran, moved to what is now in Elk Grove in 1833. in this treaty, which sparked mass white immigration to the Northern Illinois area. The land that is now Elk Grove was ceded to the U.S. As a result of the Treaty, the United States was granted control of all land west of Lake Michigan and east of Lake Winnebago in exchange for a tract of land west of the Mississippi. In 1833, the Potawatomi signed the 1833 Treaty of Chicago with the United States Government. In the late 1700s and early 1800s, the Potawatomi expanded southwards from their territory in Green Bay and westward from their holdings near Detroit, until they controlled in an L-shaped swath of territory from Green Bay to the Illinois River, and from the Mississippi River to the Maumee River. The French-allied Potawatomi began to raid and take possession of Northern Illinois in the 1700s. The Confederacy was driven from the area by the Iroquois and Fox in the early 1700s. The land that is now the Village of Elk Grove was controlled by the Miami Confederacy (which contained the Illini and Kickapoo tribes) starting in the early 1680s. Elk Grove is also expected to be served by the I-490 Western O'Hare Bypass upon completion of the project. The community is served by several Interstate highways including I-90, I-290/ I-355/ Route 53, and IL-390. It is directly adjacent to O'Hare International Airport and is economically important to the Chicago metropolitan area due to its large industrial park, located on the eastern border of the village. Located 20 miles (32 km) northwest of Chicago along the Golden Corridor, the Village of Elk Grove Village was incorporated on July 17, 1956. Per the 2020 census, the population was 32,812. Elk Grove Village is a village in Cook and DuPage counties in the U.S.
