Russell Huntley
text:
Russell Huntley, along with his younger brother Lewis Huntley (1816-1862), founded the Illinois city of DeKalb. The pair owned most of the land that would become DeKalb. County surveyor Daniel W. Lamb platted two sections of DeKalb township as a new village in November 1853, a village originally known as Huntley's Grove. Huntley gave the Galena and Chicago Union Railroad right-of-way across his land and a site for a depot. Other railroad investors also received land for speculative purposes.
