Indian Boundary
Software and Consulting, Inc.
has such an interesting name due to the location of
it's corporate offices. Located in Bolingbrook,
Illinois, IBS&C's offices sit directly on what is
called the "Indian Boundary Line". The following excerpt
from an article in the Met (1995) describe how and
why this was created.
"In the early 1800s, the need for
improved land and water transportation prompted the
Congress to consider internal improvements. Traders
wanted to be able to travel unmolested between
Chicago and the navigation headwaters of the
Illinois River at Ottawa.... As of 1816, the United
States had acquired from the Indians the greater
part of what is now Illinois but not the lands
adjacent to Lake Michigan including the Chicago
Portage. The Indian Commissioners were instructed to
negotiate for a tract of land which would connect
the shores of Lake Michigan with the Illinois
Purchase. On August 24, 1816, the United States
concluded a treaty with the United Tribes of the
Ottawa, Chippewa, and Potawatomi. The tribes ceded
to the United States a twenty mile wide tract of
land through which white men were supposed to be
able to travel safely. The "safe passage" runs
diagonally from the southern extremity of Lake
Michigan westward to the Mississippi."
Indian Boundary
Software and Consulting, Inc.
is your "safe passage" to a
successful project!
