“Sin-Qua-Sip,” the Indian name for Sugar Grove, had its beginning in the spring of 1834 at what is now known as Bliss Woods Forest Preserve. Six men, coming from different areas of the east, met at Black Swamp, Ohio and decided to journey west together, these men were the founding fathers of Sugar Grove. At this time the area was populated by Indians, hence when these men arrived they found shelter in an abandoned Indian sugar camp wigwam. The village has since grown becoming The Village of Sugar Grove in 1957 with a population of 125. And since its incorporation, it has seen a boom in population which has just topped more than 7,000 inhabitants.
