History

The first cabin was built here in 1831 by Ezekiel Provolt. More settlers arrived, built cabins and named the settlement “Nauvoo”. On November 26, 1853, the village was platted by J. W. Walker and named “Portland”. The name of “Rolling Prairie”, descriptive of the undulating terrain, was later adopted by one of the railroad companies operating through the town.

Rolling Prairie had a stop on the South Shore Line until 1994, when it was closed along with several other flag stops with low ridership.
