History

The area surrounding the current village of Roselle began to be settled in the early 1830s, as settlers moved in next to the native Potawatomi people. Silas L. Meacham and his brothers Harvey and Lyman settled the area now known as Bloomingdale Township. Rosell Hough returned from a career as an alderman and a businessman in Chicago, and saw that the area had become a farming center for corn and flax. Hough was also the president of the Chicago and Pacific Railroad Company. It is rumored that because of his position, he spent some money to alter a land survey to show that a railroad line should run through Rosellle, Itasca and Wood Dale instead of Addison and Bloomingdale. The train schedule misprinted the name of the town on the rail line, giving RoseLle its current name. In 1837, Deacon Elijah Hough and his wifesettled in the Bloomingdale area, with his sons Oramel, Rosell [sic] and daughter Cornelia. He opened the Illinois Linen Company on the northwest corner off of what is now Rose lle Road and Irving Park Road. He died in 1868, at the age of 48, and was succeeded by his son, who went on to become a mayor of the city of Chicago. He is survived by his wife and three children, all of whom are still living in the area today. The town is now home to about 2,000 people.
