History

Near the end of the Black Hawk War the Potowattomie Indians, a branch of the Algonquin's sold what is now Dundee to Illinois in 1835 and by 1840 almost all of this land had been settled. The first settlers actually arrived in the area in the fall of 1834, seeing the wigwams and campfires along the river. Jesse Newman, his wife and Joseph Russell who were prospectors, built a cabin along the east bank of the river a little more than a mile south of what later became the town of Dundee. The Newmans and Russell stayed only a short time, but staked their claim and returned a year later.

In 1835 the Oatman's arrived and settled on the west side of the river, being one of the first settlers to arrive after the treaty. Reportedly, a drawing was held at the raising of the Oatman house to determine who would have the honor of naming the town. A young Scotchman name Alexander Gardiner won the honor and the town was named Dundee after his hometown in Scotland. Motto: (Latin) No one provokes me with impunity(English) Wha daur meddle wi me?

In 1837, Thomas Deweese, the son-in-law to Elder John Oatman, platted most of East Dundee. In 1837 Deweese built a gristmill, and soon after was responsible for the installation of the first bridge. In the 1850s, a large group of Lutheran Germans moved into the area. They erected a church and practiced their own traditions, which separated them from their largely Scottish western neighbors.[1] With the Chicago - Northwestern train line running through the center of town, East Dundee produced dairy and cheese. Prior to the train line all products were moved by horse and wagon to connect with the train which was about 7 miles north and a little west of town.


Using clay from the riverbank, a brickyard started business in 1852. D. H. Haeger became part owner of Haeger Brick Company, now Haeger Pottery, in 1871; within a year he was sole owner and had extended the business to include tile. After the "Great Chicago Fire" of 1871, bricks were shipped into the city to help rebuild. By the 1920s the brickyard's production included teaware, luncheonware, and Royal Hickman crystal and glassware. At the Century of Progress Exposition in 1934 in Chicago, Haeger Potteries' exhibit included a complete working plant where souvenir pottery was made on the spot. Haeger Pottery started as a Dundee, Illinois brickyard along the Fox River in 1852 using clay from the riverbank. ...

Development of East Dundee has been slowed by a lack of land. The river is a barrier to the west; Carpentersville to the North; the Fin and Feather Farm to the South; and Hoffman Estates, to the east.In 1959 Santa's Village Amusement park was built. Referendums in 1956 and 1962 failed to unite East Dundee and West Dundee, which has prevented East Dundee from gaining any revenues follow the opening of West Dundee's Spring Hill Mall in 1980. Each town's retention of individuality dates back to their early days, when West Dundee's Scottish and English heritage kept it apart from its German neighbors. [2] Although the East Dundee has had limited land expansion, its industry and commerce have grown, including the annexation of Rockroad Industrial Park in 1984–85 and the addition of the Spring Hill Ford auto dealership and a shopping center around 1990.

The Village of East Dundee was incorporated in 1871, four years after West Dundee. A historic district along the Fox River and stores on Main Street constitute the commercial part of East Dundee. The feed and coal store is now Dundee Lumber (which burned down in March 2007), the railway is a bicycle path, the train depot was rebuilt in 1984 as a Tourist Center.[3] From 1959 to 2006, Santa's Village amusement park provided rides and games for children.[4] // Santas Village East Dundee, Illinois (1959-2006) was a theme park built in 1959 by Glenn Holland who also built the other two in San Bernardino County, California and Santa Cruz County, California. ...
