About Des Plaines, IL

The city of Des Plaines was named for the Des Plaines River and the Des Plaines River Valley. The first inhabitants of the valley were Native Americans from the Potawatomi, Ottawa and Chippewa tribes, while the first non-native came from New York and New England after the Treaty of Chicago in 1833. The setters were mainly farmers.

In the 1840s and 1850s, German immigrants also came to the area for better economic and political opportunities. Then, a railroad was built nearby in the 1850s and the community was called the Town of Rand. In 1859, a station was built there and called Des Plaines. In 1869, the population changed its name to match the station and was officially incorporated that year.

Soon after its incorporation, a census was taken and showed Des Plaines to have around 800 residents. After World War II, the city saw a massive jump in population. It went from about 9000 before the war to more than 50,0000 people. Today, Des Plaines is home to almost 60,000 residents.
