The Illiniwek were the main people of Illinois when Europeans first met them in 1641, but the Potawatomi later displaced them and lived at Naperville when settlers came. A major Potawatomi village stood on the site of downtown, reached from Chicago by a trail that became Ogden Avenue. Bailey Hobson, credited as the first white settler, built a cabin on the West Branch of the DuPage River in 1830 and a mill in 1834.
In 1831 Joseph Naper arrived on the west bank of the DuPage with his family and friends after nearly two months' voyage from Ashtabula County, Ohio, on the Naper brothers' schooner, the Telegraph, and founded Naper's Settlement. By 1832 more than 100 settlers had come. After the Indian Creek massacre during the Black Hawk War, they took refuge at Fort Dearborn, then returned after Fort Payne was built at the settlement, and the expected attack never came. The Pre-Emption House, the first hotel in DuPage County, was built in 1834 when the settlement became a stagecoach stop on the road from Chicago to Galena. When DuPage County was split from Cook County in 1839, Naper's Settlement became its seat. Sybil Dunbar, its first recorded Black woman resident, came in 1855. The village of Naperville was incorporated in 1857 with 2,000 people, and it lost the county seat to Wheaton in 1868. On August 5, 1873, a train crashed on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy tracks about a mile and a half east of town. Sources Wikipedia: Naperville, Illinois
