The moniker Palatine probably originated from the "Palatinate" area along the Rhine River in Germany, the original home of many of the early settlers. By 1866, Palatine was incorporated as a village. A short line railroad, the Palatine, Lake Zurich and Wauconda Railroad was built in 1911, but closed in 1924 after financial troubles and improving roads made them less desirable. Palatine's first subdivision was built just after World War II and was called Palanois Park. Since the 1970s, Palatine has had truly explosive growth.
