History

The area was originally inhabited by a test the Potawatomie Indians (Of the Aptakisic family) around 1730. The Potawatomie village stretched along the west bank of the Des Plains River from present day Illinois Route 22 (Half Day Road) south to present day Aptakisic Road. A "Council Tree" (Actually a group of three trees) was located on the east side of the Des Plains River just south of present day Illinois Route 22 (Half Day Road). The leaders of most of the Aptakisic tribes in the Midwest met under the "Council Tree" every 2 years to discuss tribal issues. The "Council Tree" was accidentally destroyed in 1956.

The Lincolnshire area was originally called "Half Day". Many people mistakenly believe that it was named Half Day because it was a half day's journey from Chicago on the way to Milwaukee. In reality, at the time, a trip from Chicago to the area would have taken much longer. The area was actually named after Potawatomie Chief "Hafda", the chief at the time the area was settled. Unfortunatley, a cartographer spelled it Half Day.

The first European settler in the Lincolnshire area was Capt. Daniel Wright in 1834. Chief Hafda allowed Capt. Daniel Wright to build his cabin at the south end of the Indian village at the site of the intersection of present day Milwaukee Avenue (Illinois Route 21) and Aptakisic Road. A large rock marks the spot of the original cabin.

In 1836, the first school was established in the home of Laura B. Sprague, who had moved from Chicago. Shortly thereafter, a school house was built. To this day, an elementary school still stands on that spot; and the school is still named Half Day School. The other elementary schools in Lincolnshire are named Laura B. Sprague School and Daniel Wright Junior High School.

By 1855 Half Day was a thriving community with a blacksmith shop, saw mill, country store, and a church.
