O Y I Q, I ' I Sketches of Interest Concerning Our District DAVIS The village of Davis is located one-half mile west of the Stephenson-Winnebago county line, six miles south of the Illinois-Wisconsin state line, eighteen miles northeast of Freeport, and twenty-four miles northwest of Rockford. The first settlement in Rock Run township was made by a widow, Mrs. Swanson, and family, at a point about a mile and a half northwest of Davis, in sections 10 and 11. This family came in 1836. Other families who settled in this section at this time were: Epleys, Pratts, Flowers, Smiths, Stabecks, Knudsons, Andersons, Olsons, Johnson, Carnefixes, Flynns and Blackmores.

The first regular post office was created in 1839, and was conducted at the H. G. Davis sawmill. This location was continued until 1848 when it was changed to Jamestown, later called Graball, this place being located at a point about a mile south of Rock City.
