In July 1831, Joseph Naper arrived banks of the Dupage River with his family
and friends, to find, which is known as the Naper Settlement. Among those
original settlers were Naper wife Almeda Landon, his brother John with wife
Betsy Goff, his sister Amy with husband John Murray, and his mother Sarah.
Their arrival was followed by nearly two-month journey of the three lakes of
the Naper brothers schooner, The Telegraph. In addition, the trip was the
number of families who were still in the raw movement, which would be in
Chicago, including the Dexter Graves who is memorialized in Graceland
Cemetery is a well-known Loredo Taft statue. [4]
By 1832, over one hundred settlers had arrived Naper Settlement. These
settlers temporarily displaced to Fort Dearborn as the protection of the
expected attack by the Sauk tribe. Fort Payne was built in Naper
Settlement's The Settlers returned and the attack never took place. The
house is built of pre-emption in 1834, when the balance became a stage-coach
stop Chicago to Galena road. Fort Payne, and reconstructions of pre-emption
House stand as part of Naper Settlement, which was the first, a Naperville
