HISTORYHistory of ChannahonAlthough the Village of Channahon will becelebrating the 50th anniversary of itsincorporation next year, the history ofChannahon goes back considerably further.Located where the DuPage, Des Plaines andKankakee rivers meet to form the IllinoisRiver, the Pottawatomi Indians called the area“Channahon,” meaning “where the watersmeet.”

Channahon then…The Village of Channahon was formallyincorporated in 1961. Voters within the two-square-mile area of Channahon voted toapprove the incorporation of the village by avote of more than two-to-one. Channahon’spopulation of a mere 1,100 residents hasgrown to a thriving community of nearly13,000. Along with the 1961 incorporation,local officials were elected. The first mayor ofthe newly formed village was William A. Cook,uncle of Joe Cook, the current mayor. Electedtrustees in 1961 included Ronald D. Lehamn,Vincent A. Miller, Charles Fishburn, Harold E.Randolph, Elswin (Jack) Price andJohn A. Matthewson. Currenttrustees are Sam Greco,

Scott McMillin, Debbie Militello, Judie Nash,Jerry Papesh and Scott Slocum. Otherelected officials at the incorporation wereVillage Clerk Anna Schmidt and PoliceMagistrate Steve Rittof, grandfather of MissySchumacher, the current clerk. Families thathave made Channahon their home forgenerations continue to welcome newresidents to the village.

Channahon now…Today Channahon straddles the Will/GrundyCounty lines covering a 16.7 square mileregion. Its mission statement is, “To

strengthen and maintain theVillage of Channahon as afamily oriented, attractivecommunity that provideseconomic diversity, high-qualityschools, parks and publicservices for all its residents.”

History of MinookaUntil 1852, the site of the Village of Minookawas a grass covered prairie hill overlookingthe Illinois River valley. It was supposedly afavorite hunting area for the Pottawatomitribes who lived in the are until the 1830s. Earlywhite settlers came to the area to stay in 1833.

The Village of Dresden, located to the south ofMinooka, was begun by one of the firstsettlers, Salmon Rutherford, and thrived alongthe I&M Canal only to fail with the coming ofthe railroad to the north. The Chicago, RockIsland and Pacific Railroad put down tracksfrom Chicago to Ottawa in 1852. RansomGardner, a surveyor for the railroad,purchased 500 acres in the northeast cornerof Grundy County and plotted the town.George Comerford, another early settler, wasmade the town’s first railroad agent.

Minooka was originally called Summitbecause the town was the highest point on theRock Island Line. In the late 1920s, therailroad cut a “pass” through the village in anattempt to level the grade that plaguesengineers on the lone freight andpassenger trains. As a result,the tracks lie 13 to 15 feetbelow the level ofMondamin St. Until thispoint, the tracks werelevel with the street withbusinesses on both sidesof the street. The villagewas given its name by Dolly

Smith who was the wife of Ransom Gardner’sagent in town, Leander Smith. She spoke thePottawatomi language and called the townMinooka. It has been said that the meaning ofthe word is high point, place of contentment,good Earth or place of maples.

She also named many of the streets.Mondamin means corn in the Pottawatomilanguage. An old deed records the name asAnoka. Minooka was granted its charter andincorporated in 1869. Leander Smith wasnamed Village President. A.K. Knapp, WilliamJordan, Thomas Harris and S.B. Alsdurf wereelected trustees. St. Mary’s Church wasorganized in 1862. There was a Catholicchurch in the Village of Dresden, St.Anthony’s, but members followed thebusinesses and public interests to Minooka.The current St. Mary’s Church was built in1905 after a fire destroyed the church thatonce stood to the east of St. Mary’s Cemetery.The Minooka Methodist Episcopal Church wasorganized in 1856. The original churchbuilding was destroyed by a tornado in 1917.The current building was built soon after and

has undergone much renovation andgrowth over the years. Minooka

has retained two hotels, ahorse track, a tobogganslide, a movie theater,many factories,businesses, socialorganizations and many,

many wonderful citizens.



Channahon and Minooka are,respectively, governed by a villagepresident, clerk and six trusteeswho are elected to four-year terms.A village administrator and a full-time support staff supplement thesepositions, overseeing the day-to-day operations of each village. Thetwo communities are also servedby full-time police departments, fireprotection districts, a library district,public water systems andwastewater treatment plants,elementary school districts, acombined high school district,volunteer recreation organizationsand individual post offices.
