At least one house in what became Maywood is known to have been used as a station on the Underground Railroad to aid refugee African American Slaves in escaping to freedom in the North. Some settled in the free state of Illinois; others went on to Canada, which had abolished slavery, seeking further refuge. The site of the former house has been nationally commemorated. The plaque is located at today’s Lake Street and the Des Plaines River bridge.
