Cary, IL:  Directory of Counselors and Psychologists and Town History 

Rolling grasslands provided superb pastures for dairy cattle from the 1880s; early morning trains daily hauled thousands of cans of fresh milk into Chicago for sale. By 1903, Borden Dairy opened a large bottling plant in Cary and shortly after, the Oatman Milk Company opened.

Chicagoans discovered that the source of their milk and cream was the Fox River Valley; it also provided a marvelous setting for resort vacations. Boardinghouses and hotels bulged with additional tenants taking advantage of the pure air and fish-filled waters. Family-run resorts lined the west bank of the river around Cary.

One resorter was John Hertz.  He made a fortune expanding the Parmelee Transfer Service into Chicago's Yellow Cab Company. Deeply involved in horse breeding, he purchased 940 acres that became home to two Kentucky Derby winners. In 1943,  he sold the land to the  Curtiss Candy Company, which experimented with cattle breeding. And the Curtiss Company sold the land to a housing developer in the 1950s.

The population of Cary grew steadily from 943 in 1950 to 6,640 in 1980 and continued to grow, reaching 15,531 in 2000.
