RESTAURANT GENEVA IL – PROUD MEMBER OF OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY Foxfire Steakhouse is located in the town of Geneva, a community of about 22,000 people on the banks of the Fox River. Here we offer some fascinating details about our town’s rich and colorful history: Geneva is a city that developed from a charming river community to a prospering community with a dynamic downtown, historical homes and diverse businesses. Two Indian trails routed through Geneva well before the earliest settlers moved into the vicinity. The first was the Waubonsee trail, which ran along what is now the heavily-travelled Route 31. The second trail ran along what is now State Street (which happens to be where you’ll find our Restaurant Geneva IL!) The Pottawatomi Indians were known to call the area home for several years. Some of the first settlers in the Restaurant Geneva IL area opened a trading post near Mill Creek in 1834 to exchange goods with the Pottawatomi. Their business also included a sawmill and a general store for the trade of essential goods and furs. Around that same time, the Herrington family arrived here. Viewed by many as the founders of the city, the Herringtons remained in the area and made significant contributions that helped it grow. In fact, the Herrington Inn & Spa is on State Street across from our Restaurant Geneva IL! The Herringtons along with another settler, Richard Hamilton, played a big role in the development of Kane County and designation of their settlement as its county seat. To secure the county seat, though, the community needed to raise the considerable sum of $3,000 to develop a courthouse and a jail. OTHER NOTABLE MILESTONES IN GENEVA’S HISTORY INCLUDE: Naming the city: It was during the early 1800s when early inhabitants finally granted a name for their community. Back then, many people in the area would refer to local settlements as Big Springs. Some folks began calling it “Herrington’s Ford” while the actual Herringtons decided to name the local post office “La Fox.” Residents James Campbell and Thomas Ford, who were area commissioners at the time, proposed “Campbell Ford.” However, it was a man named Charles Volney Dyer from Chicago who suggested the name of “Geneva.” The significance of the sawmill: A sawmill was vital for creating quality homes and was a key investment in the way forward for the modest community. When a bridge and a sawmill were finished in 1838, the Geneva community truly started to grow. That very same year, the Herrington family helped surveyor Mark Fletcher plat the community. They outlined a town quite different from others like nearby St. Charles and Batavia. Fletcher envisioned wider streets that would cater to trade. To this day, observers can see that the very road where our Restaurant Geneva IL sits is noticeably wider than those in neighboring communities. RAILROAD DEVELOPMENT Development of the railroad: By the time 1850 rolled around, Geneva’s population had grown and the first railroad services appeared in Geneva. Consisting of a two-mile branch line on the east side of the Fox River, the railroad ran northward to St. Charles where it served as a connection for Geneva to the Galena & Chicago Union Railroad. Train service to Geneva increased rapidly, with two passenger trains and a freight train passing through each day by 1857. That was also the year when the third Kane County courthouse established on Third Street – where it still sits today. Speaking of train service, our Restaurant Geneva IL is easily accessible by train – we’re less than one mile from the Metra station! MORE ABOUT GENEVA, IL By 1892, multiple passenger and freight trains moved through Geneva on a daily basis. The arrival of the railroad drastically changed Geneva, bringing in a substantial influx of immigrants from Sweden and Ireland. Large populations of Italian immigrants also arrived in the early 1900s. What had formerly been a modest community of settlers from New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and New England swiftly changed into quite a cosmopolitan community. Historians state that by the turn of the century about half of Geneva residents had been born in another country. In 1865 Henry and Charles Bennett bought and developed the city’s flour mill, turning Bennett flour into a familiar local name. The business depended on Geneva wheat farms and other farms in the area, which used the railroad to deliver their crops. At its busiest time, the Bennett’s flour mill required up to 130,000 bushels each day to operate.
