History

Incorporated on June 11, 1879, the Village of La Grange was the dream of Franklin Dwight Cossitt, born in Granby, Connecticut and raised in Tennessee, who moved to Chicago in 1862 and built a successful wholesale grocery business. He also placed liquor restrictions in the land deeds he sold to prevent the village from becoming a bar (establishment) town. The first settler, Robert Leitch, came to what is now La Grange in 1830, a full seven years before the city of Chicago was incorporated in March 1837. A few miles to the south, through present day Willow Springs, Illinois Springs, the Illinois and Michigan Canal had emerged as a major shipping corridor, connecting Chicago and the Great Lakes with the Illinois River and Mississippi Rivers. But upon learning of another community already with that name in Illinois, Cossitt decided to name his town in honor of La Grange, Tennessee, where he had been raised as a youth on an uncle's cotton farm.
