Up here in the northeast corner of Kendall County , the Oswego area has been celebrating a bunch of anniversaries throughout 2025.

The Oswegoland Park District was created in a March referendum 75 years ago. The landmark Little White School Museum was completed on its present site at Jackson and Polk streets 175 years ago last spring.

And the land on which the sprawling Boulder Hill subdivision is located was bought by developer Don L. Dise and the consortium of investors he’d put together 70 years ago this past summer.

And finally, the village of Oswego itself is marking the 190th year of its creation. It was sometime during the year 1835 that two early settlers and entrepreneurs laid out a new town they called Hudson on the east bank of the Fox River where it narrows.
