A Little History

Danvers was laid out under the name of “Concord” on February 20, 1836.

Between 1835 and 1837 eight new towns and many additions were laid out in McLean County as a part of the great town founding surge in Illinois.

In 1836 Illinois had no way of regulating town names and popular names were frequently repeated, at least two other places in Illinois named Concord. Therefore, in 1861, the name of the town was changed to Danvers, later incorporated as a village under a special charter on May 7, 1869.
