Carpentersville, IL

Get to know Carpentersville


  • Founding: In 1837, brothers Charles and Daniel Carpenter, en route to the Rock River, camped along the east bank of the Fox River to wait out spring floods. They decided to settle in the area, establishing what was then called Carpenters' Grove.
  • Industrial Development: In 1853, George Marshall opened a shop in Carpentersville that manufactured and repaired reapers. By 1864, he had acquired two partners, forming a stock company that later became the Illinois Iron and Bolt Company, contributing significantly to the village's industrial growth.
  • Transportation History: The electric interurban railroad reached Carpentersville in 1896, connecting it to Elgin, Illinois. This development facilitated travel for factory workers and residents, enhancing the village's connectivity.
  • Meadowdale International Raceway: From 1958 to 1969, Carpentersville was home to the Meadowdale International Raceway, a 3.27-mile automobile race track located west of Illinois Route 31. The site is now a township park and county forest preserve.
  • Fox River Bike Trail: Carpentersville features a segment of the Fox River Bike Trail, open to walkers, runners, and cyclists. This trail offers an ideal way to explore the area's natural beauty, including opportunities for birdwatching and fishing.

These facets highlight Carpentersville's rich history, industrial heritage, and commitment to preserving natural and recreational spaces for residents and visitors alike.
