The history of today's Arlington Heights begins as early as 1835, when The General Land Office started selling the land. In mid-19th century, William Dunton founded a Dunton town, which went on to become what the city is today. The town grew slowly at first, until - in the 1940's, an influx from Saxony, of German farmers, gave it a first spurt of growth. By the end of the century, the area was a farming center and supplied vegetables and dairy products to Chicago. Arlington Heights was incorporated in 1887, with a population of about a 1,000, mostly farmers. Soon, people working in Chicago began settling here, making it a commuter suburb. The 1950's and 1960's, saw a spurt in population when cars became more common, and the Chicago-area economy expanded manifold, driving the population of commuters up sharply.
