A short history of Chesterfield

It is believed that the original owners of the land, both Jesse Peebles and Aaron Tilly, were the ones who established the town in 1836. It is thought that the settlement got its name from the men's hometown of Chesterfield in Derbyshire, England. A post office was constructed in 1838 and Chesterfield was incorporated as a village in 1882. Reverend Jesse Peebles was buried in Peebles Cemetery in 1864, named after him and his family.

Chesterfield High School served the community from the late 1800s until 1947. By 1949 many educational consolidation issues were solved and Chesterfield students began attending classes at Carlinville High School.
