Wayne average annual rainfall is 26.22 inches per year History & History Related Items Wayne history: Wayne was first settled in 1869 when new residents moved to the area from Lee County, Illinois. Other groups soon followed. When the railroad moved a line through the county, the little village of Wayne sprang up in 1881. Once the railroad arrived, the area began to blossom. Wayne was first known as Brookdale - named by the railroad. But the residents wanted the same name as the county and it was settled! The name was in memory of General Anthony Wayne from the Revolutionary War. Wayne was incorporated as a village on 2 February 1884. Many of the towns in the area wanted more opportunity for higher education and so founded colleges in their towns. Wayne was no exception and began with a Lutheran academy in 1887. The effort lasted only 2 years as it closed in 1889. Even so, interest was still there and other learning opportunities began to exist, such as a library and schools. A hopital opened in 1935 with more industry coming to Wayne as the years went by. Here is a history page for Wayne.
