About Morton Grove
Prior to the 1830’s: The inhabitants of the land that now encompasses Morton Grove was inhabited by the Potawatomi and the Miami. The Miami Indian tribe lived in Illinois, Indiana, and southern Michigan at the time of European colonization of North America. Miami Indians were known for their quilt work, bead work, and embroidery. They traded with all the other tribes of the Great Lakes region, and sometimes with tribes who lived further away. By 1832, the territories of the powerful Potawatomi Nation were all but lost. The Black Hawk War ended in defeat for the Native Americans, and in 1833 the Potawatomi and other remaining tribes ceded their land to the U.S. government for only 6 cents per acre, thus relinquishing their ancestral territories to European settlers who would purchase land for $1.25 per acre from the U.S. Government beginning in 1840.

In 1860, the first school in the area, opens at Waukegan and Beckwith Roads “The Little Red Schoolhouse”. In 1872, the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul Railroad track is laid through Morton Grove.
