About Minooka, IL 

The community that later became Minooka, IL, first came together in 1852. The Chicago, Rock Island and Peoria Railroad was built through the area. A surveyor named Ransom Gardner chose the location. 

The community was not always called Minooka — it went by the names Summit and Anoka for periods of time. Dolly Smith, a resident of the town, received credit for naming the town. The name Minooka came from the Potawatomi Native American language. Dolly was very familiar with the language — it meant "contentment" or "good land." The Village of Minooka was officially incorporated in March 1869. Today, Minooka is home to more than 11,000 people.
