History

The village is on the Rock River in northwest Illinois, about 4 miles upstream of its outlet to the Mississippi. The village is the site of the south campsites which comprised the Sauk and Fox village of Saukenuk, once the second-largest Native American inhabitation in North America.

Originally platted along the right-of-way for the Hennepin Canal, in 1837, the village site was called in land speculation papers “Hampton” (not the town in Illinois, approximately 13 miles north-northeast, on the Mississippi River—see Hampton, Illinois for more). “Hampton’s” land speculators, George Camden and Franklin Vandruff, sold land along the Rock River, along a north-west flowing creek, which was re-routed north into the Rock’s main channel. Along Mill Creek, the industries of wool-carding and (river clamshell) “pearl” button-making helped rename the village by 1841 as Camden Mills.

The village has “sister cities” in Missouri, Tennessee, and Michigan.
