History The name Machesney Park has its roots in Machesney Airport (also known as Machesney Field) which was founded in 1927 by Fred Machesney, a barn-storming aviator. The airfield was Rockford's main airport until the 1950’s, when the Greater Rockford airport came on line. In 1928 a famous flight from Rockford to Sweden took off from the field. The attempt failed as the two pilots crashed in Greenland, later being safely rescued. Machesney Field was used by the army air corps during World War II as a stop by fighter aircraft being ferried to the Soviet Union.
This area of unincorporated Winnebago county saw growth pick after World War II. This lead to the formation of North Park, a public water district and volunteer firefighting company, and the unofficial name for the area. Located next to he Machesney airport, and located on IL route 251, was a Hires root beer stand. It stood out for two reason; it was shaped like a giant barrel of root beer, and this shape was silhouetted against the flat horizon of the adjacent airport. Machesney airport closed in 1974, and soon thereafter so did the root beer stand. Several years later the Machesney Park Mall was built in its place. Machesney Park became a village in 1981, after being approved in a referendum. Linda Vaughn is the current village president.
