Named for Conrad Sulzer.

Sulzer Regional Library opened September 14, 1985.

The library was named for Conrad Sulzer (1807-1873), first settler in Lakeview. Sulzer, a Swiss immigrant who arrived in Chicago in 1836, turned wilderness into a livestock farm and a horticulture garden. He also served as collector of Ridgeville Township and assessor of Township of Lake View, leaving a heritage of public service and commitment to the community, continued by his descendants through the Sulzer Family Foundation.
