History
editIn 1842, Naperville was laid out by Joseph Naper. One of the roads the Naper laid out was the west side of what is now 75th Street [citation needed]. A year later, Hobson School was built in the area between what is now 75th Street and Hobson Road.[2] In the late 19th and 20th centuries, the area surrounding 75th Street was owned by several farmers.[3]
In 2018, a mosque was established by the Islamic Center of Naperville. Just recently, construction in the intersections with Millbrook Drive, Modaff Road, Olympus Drive, and Greene Road was completed, providing better signal posts and extended left-turn lanes.
