May 9th will mark 150 years since Sycamore was incorporated as a village.  

Sycamore has its origins in a claim established on the north bank of the Kishwaukee River, which was called the Sycamore River, in 1835.  In 1858 Sycamore was incorporated as a village and in 1869 the community was organized as a City.

To commemorate the sesquicentennial, a volunteer committee has been established to celebrate our past, present and future.

The following sub-committees are meeting and welcome ideas and suggestions that lend themselves to a truly community celebration of Sycamore's 150th: History, Events, Opening and Closing, Fundraising and Marketing.  If you are interested in serving on a sub-committee or volunteering to assist at an event, please call 815-895-6746. 

Ken Mundy, Mayor
