Palatine was founded back in the 1830s by settlers from New York and New England. They headed west to stake their claim in the fertile green prairies they had heard so much about from soldiers who were returning from the 1832 Blackhawk War. They used Indian trails north and west of the settlement at Fort Dearborn named Chicago, from the Indian phrase for the area which meant "wild onion place."
Palatine is located just 28 miles from Chicago’s Loop and 14 miles from O’Hare International Airport.
