The oldest Aurora Div ETT I have is 1895 and by then it's named Eola,33.5 miles from Union depot.

I seem to recall reading an article in the Beacon News many decades ago that Eola was the local Indian word for North Wind,which would certainly be appropriate for that location.

According to the Railway Gazette in 1870 - A new station has been established about half-way between Naperville and Aurora and thirty-four miles from Chicago. It is called " Decorah."

Presumably this became Eola.  Any ideas on when or why the change was made?
