Wheaton hotelsThe city dates its founding to 1837 and 1838, following the Indian Removal Act. In 1837, Warren Wheaton laid claim to 640 acres of land in the center of town. Jesse Wheaton later made claim to 300 acres of land just west of Warren's. The city was then incorporated in 1859 and re-incorporated on March 1, 1890. As demand for space increased, the courthouse was rebuilt in 1896, modeled after the courthouse in Aledo. This structure was used for the next 94 years until the county's rapid growth prompted the building of a brand new complex. It is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and was formerly used by National-Louis University until it moved to Lisle in 2004, being developed into luxury condominium. Wheaton has rapidly expanded since the 1950s, although population growth has slowed since the early 1990s, as the city has become increasingly landlocked. According to local realtors, the average sale price for a single family home in Wheaton is $409,927. Wheaton is also home to the historic Wheaton Grand Theater, built in 1925. In recent years, the theater and volunteers have begun a restoration to its original state, complete a with lighted dome ceiling dotted with stars. It celebrated its grand reopening on May 11, 2002, and on August 25, 2005, the Theater was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
