history

Amos Kendall

The Kendall County was formed on February 19, 1841 from the southern part of Kane County and the northeast part of La Salle County. The county's first name was Orange County, named after a county in New York State from which most of the settlers were descended. The county was renamed a short time later after Amos Kendall , the post office secretary under President Andrew Jackson .

The first settlements were on the banks of the Fox River and Waubonsie Creek in 1835 , followed by Newark , Yorkville and Little Rock (1836) and Lisbon and Millington (1838). The petition to form a separate county from 1840 contained 109 signatures from settlers living there.
