h istory of hampshire
The first settlements in the Hampshire area appeared in 1835. Gradually, quite a settlement gathered around the new homesteads, and came to be known as “Henpeck”. The first Stage House was built in Henpeck by the Steutenberg Brothers in 1837. The only public means of conveyance then was the stagecoach. There was immense traffic over the stage roads in the decade preceding the first railroad. Henpeck became a noted stopping place, not only for travelers going west, but for settlers seeking a place to settle.
March 3, 1840, an early settler suggested that the township be named after his wife. She came from New Hampshire and so he had nick named her “Hampshire”. This name was favorably received and unanimously agreed upon.
Henpeck, was located a few miles north of the present village, and was abandoned in 1874 when the Milwaukee Road Railroad went south of it. Hampshire was then platted in its current location on October 22, 1874, and incorporated November 9, 1876.
Present day Hampshire is continuing to grow. There are several new residential developments on the horizon in Hampshire, some with plans for over 1,000 new homes. Much of the growth is expected to occur north and east of the village. Additionally, Hampshire has recently annexed the gas stations, restaurants, and other establishments at the junction of I-90 and U.S. 20. Brier Hill Crossing, at Brier Hill Road and I-90, is a development under construction that is slated to bring a new interchange, industrial and commercial development (including potentially thousands of jobs), and residential development to Hampshire.

Ideal for living...Hampshire offers the quality of living in a small, rural setting located close to the cultural attractions of a major metropolitan area.
Ideal for operating a business—good work ethics prevail—localized on a railroad and close to major highways. Easy-in for suppliers, easy out for finished products.
We are proud to have been part of Hampshire since 1969. We hope our business generated revenue, salaries and taxes paid have made a fair and welcomecontribution to the community.

President’s MessageWelcome to the 2012 Hampshire
Directory and Area Community
Guide. The guide is an excellent
resource of information about
your local governments and
the businesses that serve your
community. Thank you to the
Hampshire Area Chamber
of Commerce for remaining
committed to this yearly endeavor.
I’m sure I don’t have to tell any of you how difficult the
economy has been over the past few years on a local and
national level. Economic uncertainty has affected us all in
one way or another. The Village has seen some difficult
budget years and we certainly expect this to continue for
the next few years. However, as we move forward in 2012,
I am cautiously optimistic that we are beginning to see the
light at the end of the tunnel. Please know that even though
our resources may be limited during these challenging
times, the Village of Hampshire is here to help you. If you
ever have a question or a concern, please contact us at
Village Hall and we’ll do our best to assist you.
While there are some signs that the economy is improving,
it is as important as ever to continue supporting your local
businesses to the extent possible. Local businesses are
the lifeblood of any community including Hampshire.
Your local businesses sponsor local youth activities,
donate goods and services to local non-profit groups,
and contribute to a strong tax base allowing your local
government to provide vital emergency and public
services. You have a choice where you shop and spend
your money. Please consider our local businesses when
making your purchasing decisions.
If you have a question about a village service or issue,
please contact myself or our Village Administrator, Doug
Maxeiner at Village Hall. Mr. Maxeiner handles the day-
to-day operations of the Village and would be more than
happy to speak with you about your concern. Also,
you can learn more about the Village at our website,
www.hampshireil.org.
