Follow on Google News | Sam’s Club to Host Book Signing for Local Romeoville AuthorNancy Hackett will be available to sign copies of pictorial history
Images of America: Romeovilletakes a look at the schools throughout the area as well. Lewis University began as Holy Name Technical School, which specialized in aviation instruction. Early on, children attended one-room schools. The Valley View School District eventually replaced them and monumental growth led to an innovative year-round school schedule. The book also discusses how Mayor Neal Murphy’s 40-year term led Romeoville toward the creation of Hampton Park in the 1950s, when houses arrived on railroad cars. Many farming and Hampton Park families are still prominent in the area. Residential and industrial growth expanded in the 1990s, doubling the population. Romeoville allows readers to gain a better understanding of Romeoville’s history and modern identity by showcasing vintage images that reveal scenes of the past. Join the Author for a Book Signing!
