Darlington's Naming Tied to Eastern Land Buyer Joshua Darling
Darlington was named for Joshua Darling, a New York land buyer, though he never lived there. The first resident, Jamieson Hamilton, arrived around 1836 and built a log cabin later replaced by a stone house. Early development centered along the Pecatonica River with the town moving toward the railroad and incorporating on April 28, 1865. The area shifted from button making to farming and cheesemaking as main pursuits.
