During the 1832 Black Hawk War the Battle of Waddams Grove was fought along Yellow Creek. During the 1832 Black Hawk War, a conflict between Sauk Chief Black Hawk''s British Band and settlers in Michigan Territory and the state of Illinois, the Battle of Waddams Grove occurred near Yellow Creek. After a number of Native American raids in the area, James W. Stephenson raised a group of volunteers and set out in search of the raiders. Stephenson caught up with the band of Native Americans on June 18, 1832 in an open area near Yellow Creek, about 12 miles (19.3 km) east of Kellogg''s Grove, Illinois. The battlefield itself is believed to be located along the Yellow Creek northwest of William Waddams'' original land claims north of the present day unincorporated town of Waddams Grove, Illinois.
