The original owners of the estate which came to be Harvard, Illinois, were Abram Carmack and Jacob Davis, who obtained it from the presidency in 1845 and sold it to Gilbert Brainard snappishly afterward. Upon Gilbert Brainard’s death, the estate was purchased by Amos Page, Otis Eastman, and Elbridge Gerry Ayer. These three men planned the layout of the town and named it “Harvard” in honor of Harvard, Massachusetts. The plat was signed by Judge J. M. Strode in Woodstock, Illinois, on November 25, 1856. Shortly as soon as Amos Page and Otis Eastman sold their shares of the property to Elbridge Gerry Ayer. Mr.Ayer’s involvement came out of his business interest in the increase of the Chicago and North Western Transportation Company railroad west from Cary, toward Janesville, Wisconsin. The newly platted town of Harvard was located directly upon the route of the extension, and in April 1856 the railroad accepted Ayer’s offer of home to build a station in the town.
In 1856 Mr. Wesley Diggins built a hotel for Mr. H. C. Blackman, who sold it to Mr. Elbridge Gerry Ayer in 1859. Mr. Ayer built new floors to raise it to a pinnacle of three stories and other a wing and a veranda. During the Civil War, sick and persecuted soldiers passing through Harvard were lodged at the hotel taking into account no prosecution for their meals. In 1925 the Ayer Hotel was purchased by Mr. S. J. Noble and renamed the Noble Hotel. When he could not preserve mortgage payments it was purchased in 1937 by Mr. P. G. Allen and renamed the Hub Hotel. The building was destroyed in a ember on December 22, 1960.
As railroad employment expanded, Harvard’s population grew. On April 18, 1869, voters incorporated the community and elected Elbridge Gerry Ayer as the first village president. The first ordinance adopted required every able-bodied citizen between the ages of 18 and 60 to take steps one day of labor for the town.
