[edit] HistoryLisle was permanently settled in 1832 by James and Luther Hatch, after the Blackhawk War. The two brothers settled land near what is now Ogden Avenue and began a small farming community. This early beginning makes Lisle Township the oldest settlement in DuPage County. [4] A number of firsts for Lisle came in the 1830s with the First Congregational Church of DuPage in 1833, the first post office (managed by John Thompson) in 1834, and the first schoolhouse in 1837.
