Extractions: Olympic Dream Profile HISTORY Racquetball was invented by Joe Sobek in 1949 on a Connecticut handball court. Seeking a game with fast pace that was easy to learn, Sobek designed the first short strung paddle, devised rules combining the basics of handball and squash, and named his modification "paddle rackets." His experiment was an overnight success, the sport caught on quickly and has since evolved into racquetball as we know it today. By the early 70's, court clubs could be found in every state and the sport enjoyed a rapid and steady rise in popularity. As Americans sought new and challenging athletic activities, the timing was perfect for racquetball courts were accessible nationwide and the sport was fun and easy to learn. The late 70's and early 80's saw racquetball become one of the fastest growing sports in America as thousands of new racquetball courts were built to satisfy the demand. But the sport saturated the market and reached its peak in the mid-80's, when many clubs either closed their doors or began converting courts to other uses. But by 1987 the decline leveled off and racquetball regained a steady, manageable growth rate.

Extractions: History Originally this place called Arlington Heights was a part of the prairie of the midwest. Various Indian tribes roamed the area at will until the western expansion of the white man drove them out. The Indian Treaties and the Homestead Act of the 1830s and 40s encouraged permanent settlement of the area and Asa Dunton, the first resident, named the community "Dunton." The biggest force shaping the early midwest was the railroad and, in 1854, "Dunton" was linked to Chicago by train. Asa Dunton persuaded the rail builders to stop in his town by selling 16 acres of his own land for railroad right of way for only $250. The improved transportation to Chicago spurred the industrial and farming growth of "Dunton" and a new name for the village was chosen, "Arlington Heights." The train is still a central focus of the community today. In 1887, the Village of Arlington Heights was incorporated and civic improvements were begun. In 1892, the railroad developed several parks on the north and south sides of the railroad right of way and started Arlington Heights on the road to a park system. In 1925 the citizens determined, by petition, that there was a need for an organized park district and that future development of the community demanded such an organization. On June 9, 1925, the Arlington Heights Park District was formed and the first Park District meeting was held June 18, 1925, with Commissioners Nathaniel Banta, Henry Klehm, Eugene Berbecker, Albert Volz, and Julius D. Flentie.
