In 1830, Bailey Hobson, a Quaker, was the first settler in what would become DuPage County, Illinois, as well as Lisle Township. The town of Lisle was permanently settled in 1832, by brothers James C. Hatch and Luther A. Hatch after the close of the Black Hawk War. The two brothers acquired land near what is now Ogden Avenue and began a small farming community named "DuPage" or "East DuPage" because, of its proximity to the east branch of the DuPage River. To the west of Hatchs' Dupage, the largest and oldest community in the region to become DuPage County was founded in 1831, on the west branch of the DuPage River, by brothers Joseph Naper and John Naper: Naper Settlement, present-day Naperville, Illinois.
