Sugar Grove was settled by parties who came in May, 1834, and found an Indian encampment near the Grove. They were James, Isaac C. and Parmeno Isbell, James Carman, a Mr. Bishop and Asa ]McDole. All but McDole were from Wood county, Ohio. William O. Tanner arrived in 1835 and staked a claim on the northeast comer of the township.

These exceptions I do not make on account of the high character of the schools, but on account of the determination of the inhabitants to do the best they can.

Norris, a very successful practitioner, was graduated from Dartmouth Medical College, Hanover, New Hampshire, in October, 1867.

Among the noted stock breeders and dealers of the county were Dr. W. A. Pratt and the Manns, of Elgin; M. W. Dunham and N. S. Carlisle, of St. Charles (the latter's farms lying in Hampshire); Frank H. Hall, of Sugar Grove: George E. Brown & Co.. George Leigh & Co., Blair Bros. & Curry, and Hiram Norris, of Aurora; and Hon. John Stewart, of Campton. besides numerous others engaged in stock raising to a considerable extent in various parts of the county. … Alfred Churchill, school commissioner of Kane county in 1846, wrote as follows to the Prairie Messenger, published at St. Charles: "Generally, I would say that the schools are in a bad state, with some few exceptions, at the head of which is placed Sugar Grove precinct; one school in Pigeon Woods; one or two in the northeast corner of section 32, range 7. These exceptions I do not make on account of the high character of the schools, but on account of the determination of the inhabitants to do the best they can. The first physician in Sugar Grove has already been mentioned. Dr. Nelson H. Norris, a very successful practitioner, was graduated from Dartmouth Medical College, Hanover, New Hampshire, in October, 1867.
