Where a Tractor Company Tested the Future of Farming

In 1917, the International Harvester Company bought 414 acres of rolling land here — part of the Valparaiso Moraine, shaped by glaciers during the last ice age — to build an experimental farm. It’s where the original Farmall tractor was tested, alongside hundreds of other pieces of new farm equipment, at annual demonstration events that reportedly included orchestra accompaniment and circus tents. In the 1950s, Harvester expanded the site with a $5 million research and engineering center that, at the time, was billed as the world’s largest dedicated agricultural engineering facility, employing over 1,300 people.

After World War II, residents south of old Route 66 worried a planned Harvester housing development would hurt property values, so on October 30, 1956 they voted — 76 to 67 — to incorporate their own roughly one-square-mile village of about 300 residents. They named it, fittingly, Harvester. Today the site’s Route 66 history lives on in Harvester Park’s road-themed playground. Official village information is available on Burr Ridge’s official site.

🌳 Why “Burr Ridge”? Nearby estate owners weren’t thrilled about being associated with a company town named after a tractor manufacturer. When neighboring Hinsdale declined annexation requests, the village renamed itself in the early 1960s after the actual ridge of bur oak trees running through the area — becoming Burr Ridge, the name that stuck as the village grew from around 300 residents in 1960 to more than 11,000 today.
