History

When Cossitt began his development, the area was served by a post office known as Kensington. The name 'La Grange' is French language for "the barn".

The area around La Grange was first settled in the 1830s, when Chicago residents, already fed up with the rapid population increase in that city in the decade since its incorporation, moved out to the west. La Grange's location, at approximately thirteen miles from Chicago's Loop, is not considered far at all from the city by today's standards, but in that time the residents enjoyed the peace of rural life without much communication with urban residents. In 1870, Cossitt purchased several hundred acres of farmland in Lyons Township, Cook County, Illinois Township, along the Chicago-Dixon Road, known today as Ogden Avenue (US Highway 34). Ogden Avenue, on the site of a defunct Native Americans in the United States American trail, was also referred to as the "Old Plank Road".
