Lincolnshire

History

The Potawatomie Native Americans were among the first permanent residents in the area now known as Lincolnshire. Lincolnshire began as a subdivision of 280 acres into half-acre lots in 1955, promoted by developer Roger Ladd. The village incorporated in 1957. From the beginning it was marketed to relatively wealthy homeowners, many of whom were attracted by the rolling, wooded landscape along the Des Plaines River.
