“Community of Choice:” Geneseo is viewed as providing sustainable and safe, family-friendly neighborhoods, connectedness (technology), medical/healthcare services, recreational opportunities, shopping, restaurants, and a positive experience for all who live, work and play in Geneseo.

Geneseo was founded as a Christian colony in 1836 by seven families of the Congregationalist denomination from Geneseo, New York and Bergen, New York seeking to establish a “church in the wilderness”.[6] Roderick R. Stewart, one of the city’s founding members, named the town Geneseo after the settlers’ town of origin in New York. The name “Geneseo” is a variation of the Iroquois word Genesee, meaning “shining valley” or “beautiful valley”.[7]

Planning for the colony began as early as 1829.[8] In May 1836 the founding seven families of Geneseo sent an exploratory committee to survey the precise location of their new community in the Old Northwest. This group, known as the “New York Committee”, or “New York Group” was composed of John C. Ward, Lukas T. Seyller, and Roderick R. Stewart. Advised at a meeting in Chicago by the future Governor of Illinois, Thomas Ford, the small committee rode by wagon and horseback to investigate the 2,000-acre tract. The transaction of the land was completed at a place called Brandenburg’s Tavern in what is today Colona Township and purchased at a dollar and a quarter per acre.[9][10]
