Deacon Winslow Churchill and
family arrived from New York in
1834 to become the first
landowners in the area that is
now Glen Ellyn. Moses Stacy, a
soldier in the War of 1812,
arrived here in 1835. His inn,
Stacy's Tavern, built in 1846
and his second home, was a
half-way stop between Chicago
and the Fox River Valley and a
probable stop for Galena
stagecoaches on their way to
Rockford, Illinois. Stacy's
Tavern, now a historical
monument, stands at what is now
the intersection of Geneva Road
and Main Street.
The
nucleus of settlement shifted to
the south when the railroad came
through the village in 1849.
Although no stop was planned for
the area, Lewey Q. Newton deeded
a right-of-way to the railroad
and offered to build a depot and
water tank at his own expense if
it would permit a stop there.
This became known as Newton
Station. Within three years, the
new postmaster named the town
Danby after his birthplace in
Vermont.
Religious services were
conducted by circuit riders
until the first Congregational
church was established in 1862.
Various Protestant churches rose
in the village; it would be more
than 60 years before Roman
Catholics built St. Petronille
and the Maryknoll Seminary.
In
1889 Thomas E. Hill and Philo
Stacy arranged to dam the stream
near town to form Lake Glen
Ellyn, named for the glen where
it rests and a Welsh spelling of
Hill's wife's name, Ellen. The
following year, nearby mineral
springs were discovered.
In
1891 Glen Ellyn, advertised as
Chicago's newest suburb and
health resort, became the town's
official name. The large Lake
Glen Ellyn Hotel opened in 1892,
the same year much of the
business district was destroyed
by fire. Fourteen years later,
the hotel was struck by
lightning and burned to the
ground.
In
1907 Glen Ellyn's first fire
department was organized. By the
end of the 20th century, it
would be known as the last
all-volunteer fire organization
in DuPage County, Illinois. By
World War I, Glen Oak Country
Club served the Oak Park and
Glen Ellyn communities, and in
1922 the first Glenbard high
school was built.
The
town went through several names,
including Babcock's Grove,
Dupage Center, Stacy's Corners,
Newton's Station, Danby,
Prospect Park, and finally Glen
Ellyn.
