00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,279
Before there were roads, before there
were rooftops,

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:14,000
there was open prairie, buffalo, roaming
free. This land carried stories long

3
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:18,800
before it carried a name. From Chief
Blackhawk and native tribes to the first

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:25,199
settlers building homesteads and
gathering at Glazer's General Store, a

5
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:30,640
foundation was forming. In 1926, a
vision became official. Richton Park was

6
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:35,760
mapped, but its spirit that was already
alive through courage and sacrifice.

7
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:41,040
From the Underground Railroad guiding
freedom forward to the building of the

8
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:46,239
Sock Trail vioaduct, the trains that
connected us and the rise of roads and

9
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:53,280
neighborhoods through generations to
today. Every challenge, every triumph,

10
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:59,840
every family story.
100 years later, we are still standing.

11
00:00:56,559 --> 00:01:05,719
Happy 100 years, Richton Park. Here's to
the legacy behind us and the future

12
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:05,719
ahead.
