What do buffaloes, a python and President Gerald Ford have in common? They are all highlights in Buffalo Grove’s history.
Buffalo Grove's history is well known. It was incorporated in 1958, and the village received its name because a herd of buffalo grazed by the trees along Buffalo Creek. But did you know that Buffalo Grove’s history is much older? According to Debbie Fandrei, the Raupp Museum’s coordinator, Buffalo Grove has an intriguing history. The Potawatomis once lived in the area.

Residents gathered Tuesday to learn more about road conditions and share their thoughts about possible improvements.
