The first settlements were made here in 1836. Among the first families were the Trumbulls, Wheelers, Diggins, Rileys and Harts. Chemung is the extreme northwest township in McHenry counr ty. This township probably has more low"'land per acre than any other in the county. This fact made it poor farming land but well suited to dairying. Chemung township had two lailroads, the Chicago and North Western and the Kenosha and Rockford. The first school was taught in 1840. The first marriage was that of Sanford Blodgett and Jane H. Smith in 1842. The village of Chemung was founded in 1844 and is one' of the oldest in this section of the country. The village grew steadily until it rose to a population of 400 when a railroad came to Harvard and left Chemung virtually a ghost town. Although a railroad came through two years later, Chemung never caught up with Harvard, whic^i by that time hdd a good head start on Chemung. Chemung township suffered a violent cyclone in 1883.
