Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Girard, Illinois, "From Then 'Til Now," 1855-1955 These Indians declared to the first settlers that this was a spot favored by the Great Spirit for here no cyclone would ever blow. It is plain that an enterprising Frenchman by the name of Girard (first name unknown) also came at a very early date, building a sawmill on the timbered banks of the stream which was so soon to be called Mill Creek. Legend says that Girard's Mill was located on the creek at the foot of Ash baugh Hill, west of the entrance of Oak Leaf Country Club. Following the streams up into the edge of the prairies, the settlers first came from the south and west, by way of Alton.
