XX [From the FOREWORD] "How "The Blue Island Story" Came To Be: In planning the 1962 Fourth of July Celebration, the Lions Club of Blue Island has believed that part of its duty was to bring the history of our city up to date. Could we not look back and retell the story of our past? Could we not catch again that determination to conquer all obstacles which has always marked our people? Could we not re-dedicate ourselves to the furtherance of that spirit which has brought us from a little pioneer village to our present prosperous city? Perhaps by studying again The Blue Island Story, and rewriting it for others to read, we might accomplish all these aims. Thus inspired, we have herein attempted to tell of our city's 127 years growth. Fortunately our committee has been able to lean heavily on the fine historical efforts of the late John H. Volp, who wrote "The First Hundred Years." This book not only presents invaluable source material, but. also sets a standard of excellence which we hope we have met. The Blue Island Sun- Standard has been our sole authority for happenings since 1935, so we owe the Volp family and organization a double debt of gratitude. Although our work is principally concerned with the years after 1935, we have attempted to condense Mr. Volp's presentation, in order to tell the entire story of our city's prosperity. Our hope now is that you our readers, will accept "The Blue Island Story" in the same spirit in which it is presented: that all the tomorrows of this city, our home, will be as fine and as good and as great as have been its yesterdays." XX [Wikipedia] Blue Island is a city in Cook County, Illinois, United States, 16 miles (26 km) south of Chicago's Loop. The population was 22,558 at the 2020 United States census. Blue Island was established in the 1830s as a way station for settlers traveling on the Vincennes Trace, and the settlement prospered because it was conveniently situated a day's journey outside of Chicago. Since its founding, the city has been an important commercial center in the south Cook County region. In addition to its broad long-standing industrial base, the city enjoyed notable growth in the 1840s during the construction of the feeder canal (now the Calumet Sag Channel) for the Illinois and Michigan Canal and as the center of a large brick-making industry beginning in the 1850s, which eventually gave Blue Island the status of brick-making capital of the world. Although initially settled by "Yankee" stock, Blue Island has been the point of entry for many of America's immigrants, beginning in the 1840s with the arrival of a large German population that remained a prominent part of the city's ethnic makeup for many years. By 1850, half of Blue Island's population was either foreign-born or the children of foreign-born residents.
