Romeoville was incorporated in 1895 and is a historic part of
the I & M Canal System, which supplied Chicago with produce
from our abundant farmlands and the settlers to the area with
manufactured goods from the city. Farms and quarries were
the mainstay of Romeoville's economy from its founding in the
1830's to the early 1900s. During the early part of the
1900s, Romeoville became a resort time for wealthy Chicago area
residents who flocked to Ile a la Cache and Romeo Beach.
