ARLINGTON HEIGHTS. :

Arlington Heights is situated on the Wisconsin Division of the Chicago & North-Western Railway, twenty-two and two-fifths miles from Chicago. It is located on the old farm of W. II. Duuton, and until about 1874 was named Dunton after him. The first plat appears to have been made November 3, 1854, under the direction of the Commissioners of High- ways for the town of Wheeling. Three highways ran parallel with each other north and south through this subdivision, five chains apart, and the first five chains east of the northwest corner of the west half of the southwest quarter of Sectiou 29, and each ruuning south forty chains. These three streets were named Prairie, Dunton und Vail streets, and were each four rods wide. There was also a highway, commencing thirty rods south from the northwest corner of said quarter section, and running east twenty chains. Underhill's addition was surveyed by Edmund Bixby. County Surveyor, May 19, 1859, and was acknowledged May 25. It is south of the railroad and is a part of the northeast quarter of the southeast quarter of Sec- tion 30. Miner's addition, consisting of twenty aeres, was surveyed by R. F. Clough, May 27, 1859, and was acknowledged October 10, 1859. It is the north half of the southeast quarter of the southeast quarter of Section 30. Atkins' addition lies west of Vail Street, aud north of the railroad. It is bounded on the north by Euclid Avenue, and west by Elm Street. Various other audi- tions have been made, until at present the towu plat contains about two hundred and forty acres. The orig- inal subdivision was, as has been said, a part of W. If. Dunton's farm. llis house, built in 1845, was the first built within the limits of the place. Ile was liv- ing there at the time of the first survey. The second building erected here was a store by Dr. F. T. Miner, in 1854, the same year in which the depot was built, and in 1855 W. G. Wing became the second merchant in the place. The second residence was erected by James McGrath. The first blacksmith shop was opened early in 1855 by a Mr. Page, and the second later in the same year by John Fleming. The First Presbyterian Church society was organized Sep- tember 28, 1855, and in 1856 the first hotel was started by J. V. Downs & Co. The first hardware store was started this year by John H. Gale, and the second by Jolinson & Peter, in 1863. A tin shop was started in 1860 by William De Long : in 1861, a cheese factory by Enoch Williams, who afterward sold it to Ileinrich Bros., who still own it and continue the man- ufacture of cheese. In 1865 a grist mill was estab- lished by James Shirra. In the meantime the erection of residences went on gradually. There has been nothing phenomenal in the growth of Arlingtou Heights. In 1814, in order to give, if possible, a fresh impetus to its development, a number of its citizens conceived the idea of changing its name from plain " Dunton" to the more high-sounding one of " Arling- ton lleights." The name of the post-office was changed, as was also that of the railroad station, but the results were neither so immediate nor so immense
