The material here given has been com- piled from Mr. E. M. Haines' Histori- cal and Statistical Sketches of Lake county, Illinois. written in 1852; also 'Prof. John J. Halse 's History of Lake County and also rose reminiscences 'of thoae still livin . Naturally in the latter many con icting statements have been found in which case infor- mation from as many sources as pos- sible has been sought and only those accepted on which the majority seem to agree. The French explorers be- ginning with Marquette in 1674, passed up and down the Lake Shore in canoes and while they must have spent. at different times, several nights here.'yet they left so little and so indefinite a description of this lo- cality. that we will concern ourselves more with the latc‘periods of his~ ‘tory. The land was owned and oc- cupied by me Pottawattomie lndians. One lndianwillage was located on the site now occupied by the F, l). t‘la- Wey's Ravinia Nursery. A burial 'ground was in the localit of the homes of Mr. James H. S ields. and Mr. John F. L. Curtis and a chipping station was on Mr. Shield's grounds.

Authorities ditYer as to the earliest settler in this coun- ;ty, but seem to agree that John K. ‘Clarke. better known as Indian ('larks, was the first permanent white trap: per. Capt. Daniel Wright who lived on the Des Plaines River about 181“ or 1835 is supposed to be the first white resident, but in the region cov- ered by Ileerfiekt township Michael Meahan was the first. 1835. followed by Jacob Cadwell, coming in the ‘spring of 1836 with his sons Madison 0. Philemon. Caleb, lliriam, and Ed- win. Settlers soon followed. mainly composed of ii good class of Germans and Irish. Mrs. Philip Brand. mother of the Brand family so well known here. appears to be the oldest living citizen in point of residence. she hav~ ing come in 1830‘» when a child of ten years, to this township. The first entries made now in the limits of Highland Park were made by John and Peter Fennerty on Feb. in, 1841, who entered ii laryc tract running from Green Bay road on the west to the lake on the east and from Elm Plan on the north, south to Lin- coln avenue.
