history

The land of today's Lombard, which originally belonged to the territory of the Potawatomi Indians, was first settled by European immigrants around 1830. The brothers Ralph and Morgan Babcock settled in a grove near the DuPage River . Lombard developed around this nucleus to the east and Glen Elly to the west. As early as 1837 the place was connected to Chicago by a stagecoach line. Other settlers like Sheldon and Harrier Peck came to the area around 1837. The Peck family's home also served as the area's first school and was restored by the Lombard Historical Society and added to the National Park Service Network of Freedom in 2011.
