It is also the headquarters of the [[Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region III]]. ==History== {{More citations needed section|date=April 2012}} In 1830, Bailey Hobson, a [[Quaker]], was the first settler in what would become DuPage County, Illinois, as well as Lisle Township. The town of Lisle was settled in 1832, by brothers James C. Hatch and Luther A. Hatch after the close of the [[Black Hawk War]]. The two brothers acquired land near what is now [[U.S. Route 34|Ogden Avenue]] and began a small farming community named "DuPage" or "East DuPage" because, of its proximity to the east branch of the [[DuPage River]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.dupagehistory.org/dupage_roots/Lisle_13.htm|title=History of DuPage County : Lisle|website=www.dupagehistory.org|access-date=May 4, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= https://archive.org/details/historyofcountyo00rich|author= C.

To the west of the Lisle settlement, on the west branch of the DuPage river, brothers Joseph and John Naper founded Naper's Settlement, present-day [[Naperville, Illinois]]. Lisle experienced many firsts in the decade of 1830s during the earliest years of settlement in [[DuPage County, Illinois|DuPage County]]. In 1832, James C. Hatch set aside some of his land for the first and only community burial ground in the East DuPage Settlement. Today, Lisle Cemetery is one of the oldest registered cemeteries in the state of Illinois. Hatch operated the first wagon and [[blacksmith shop]] and began Lisle's infant dairy industry with a [[creamery]]. Formed in 1833, the East DuPage Religious Society had a [[circuit rider (religious)|circuit rider]] [[preacher]] with house churches and was the first Christian organization in DuPage County, which later became the First Congregational Church of DuPage in 1842. The first post office was managed by John Thompson in 1834, and the first [[One-room school|log schoolhouse]] was constructed in that same year and later replaced, in 1837, with a [[Framing (construction)|frame]] structure. In 1849,<ref name="ilsos"/> DuPage County formed its first townships, and the name Lisle was first proposed by early settler Alonzo B. Chatfield<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.geni.com/people/Alonzo-Chatfield-I-1810-1893/6000000062608302040|title= Alonzo Bradley "Lon Alanson" Chatfield, I (1810-1893) - Geni.com}}</ref> of [[Lisle, New York]];<ref>{{cite news|title=Several Towns Named After Founders and Heroes |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/872352/kanedupage_county_il_toponym_origins/|newspaper=The Daily Herald|date=December 28, 1999|page=220|via = [[Newspapers.com]]|access-date = August 17, 2014 }} {{Open access}}</ref> the proposal was accepted, creating the [[Lisle Township, DuPage County, Illinois|Lisle Township]].
