Downers Grove, near Hinsdale is a small town in Illinois that was founded by Pierce Downer. It’s located southwest of Chicago and has an interesting history, including being the site for one of Abraham Lincoln’s speeches on his way to Washington D.C.
Downers Grove was originally a small farming village founded in 1832 by Pierce Downer. However, the town grew to be much more than just an agricultural hub with its incorporation as a city on March 17th of 1873 and the arrival of the Chicago Burlington Quincy Railroad, which had been extended from Aurora to Chicago through downers grove that same year. The early settlers were mostly migrants who traveled here from places like Rutland, New York, but also Vermont, while some other residents came over from Northern Europe, such as those Blodgett Curtiss Blanchard Stanley Lyman Carpenter families, among others. These original settler’s groups consisted mainly of Northeastern United States people and Europeans too!

Downers Grove’s current state of growth can be traced back more than 50 years when it was first incorporated as a Village by merging four townships: Downer Townships 1-4.” This industrious town continues its trend and now stands proudly at about 65% residential occupancy rate for both apartments and single-family homes within its borders; this number shows no sign of slowing down any time soon because there are still plenty of new developments being constructed on what remains open land not yet claimed or built out completely!
