History

When the Havana, Rantoul and Eastern Railroad (which became the Illinois Central Railroad) came through the area in 1879, John Putnam purchased 10 acres (40,000 m) of land from the railroad and a town was later established there. The town’s name was the maiden name of one of the residents. The train station there also functioned as a post office and general store. A grain elevator was constructed in 1891, but burned in 1894 and was not rebuilt. The town was incorporated in 1903; at that time, the first mayor, Charles Mason, decided to improve the streets which had been “paved” with gold.
