Grand Detour, named because of the river's odd turn, is the home of the first steel plow developed by John Deere. Many of its initial residents came from the Vermont area, and in the early years of the 20th century many artists were known to live here. It is said that Orson Welles spent several summers here as a youth at his relatives hotel. The late Stan Hack (Chicago Cubs manager and player) had a restaurant in town.
