The area that has become Wilmette was originally owned by an American Indian woman who named it after her French-Canadian husband, Antoine Ouilmette. Wilmette experienced dramatic changes in 1908-10 when a new waterway system was set up as an experiment. The landfills that were created as a result of this work later became Gilson Park.
