History in
a Pecan Shell
Atlee was founded
sometime in the 1880s as a stop on the International-Great Northern
Railroad shortly after it built through La
Salle County. It never developed into much more than a small cluster
of houses around the IGN depot, but it did manage to appear on maps
as late as 1980. |
