About Palatine, Illinois

Palatine is a village of 67,908 people in Cook County, northwest of Chicago, and a small part of it reaches into Lake County. Settlers began arriving in 1836, when George Ela took land on Section 4 near Deer Grove, a grove that may have had its name before any white settler came. Ela Road, on the village's western edge, still carries his name.

In 1853 the Illinois & Wisconsin Railroad crossed the township, and a town grew up beside its depot, on the south edge of the Salt Creek swamp. Some residents wanted to call it Yankton, but the town took the name Palatine, after a town in New York. Joel Wood, who had arrived in 1847, surveyed and laid out the village, which was founded in 1866, and he is remembered as its founder. By 1880 Palatine had 731 people and its own flour and planing mills, and by 1900 it had 1,020.

  • A night ride for landIn May 1847, D. B. Wood learned that another settler planned to claim forty acres of Government land in the southeast quarter of Section 15. Whoever reached the land office first would get it, so Wood rode on horseback through the night to Chicago, through water for most of the trip. He got there first and took up the tract, one of the last pieces of Government land claimed in the township.
  • A short line to WaucondaBuilt in 1911, the Palatine, Lake Zurich and Wauconda Railroad ran full passenger service to Wauconda starting in 1912. Its trains also brought visitors out to Deer Grove Park, which Dr. Wilson ran a short way north of Dundee Road. Money troubles followed one after another, better roads pulled travelers away, and the line shut down in 1924.
  • The Cook County FairFrom 1914 to 1931, Palatine hosted the Cook County Fair. When the fair left, its grounds were later built over with houses, and that subdivision is called Fairgrounds Park in memory of them.
  • American Indian Day, 1920Camp Reinberg in Palatine was the setting in 1920 when the Indian Fellowship League staged its first celebration of American Indian Day. According to the Daily Herald, 60,000 people turned out, and cars jammed the highways leading to the camp.
  • A village without a sealIn the early 1990s the atheist activist Rob Sherman sued Palatine over its village seal and flag, which showed a Christian cross inside an outline of an eagle. Voters in 1992 backed keeping the seal, but they turned down spending public money to defend it, so the village dropped it. Palatine has had no official seal or flag since, the largest city or village in Illinois without one.
