In 1830 the Quaker Bailey Hobson, who was the first settler in DuPage County, also came to the Lisle region and thus became the founder of the city. The city was permanently inhabited from 1832 by the brothers James C. Hatch and Luther A. Hatch, after the Black Hawk War .

The brothers bought land near Ogden Avenue and started a farm they named East DuPage because of its proximity to the DuPage River . to the west of the Hatch brothers' estate, Naperville, now the oldest parish, was built .

In Lisle some (important) innovations were carried out in the 1830s. One of the first Illinois cemeteries was established there.
