Mundelein History
The Potowatami Indians were among the early inhabitants of this area. The settlement can be dated back to 1650 when these Indians carried out fur trading operations with the French. The European settlers arrived in this area in the early 1800s. Peter Shaddle is known to be the first settler in this region. Tradesmen came to this place in an attempt to flee from England's industrial depression. They later took up farming as an occupation but, in honor of their earlier professions, called the area "Mechanic's Grove". Later on, the name "Holcomb" was adopted and gradually a railway station and post office were established. February of 1909 saw the incorporation of the area under a new name, "Rockefeller". This place went through more name changes and finally began to be called "Mundelein" after George William Mundelein, the archbishop of Chicago.
