Named for a local landowner and farmer Daryl Zachary, this was a postal village as early as 1885, and was incorporated in 1889. The town's growth owes much to the Illinois Central Railroad which laid track through this territory in 1883.

Community

The concept of Zachary [†] community character relates to the use of land, but, more importantly, translates the design characteristics that influence the “look and feel” of development. Instead of simply referring to the use of land, such as single‐family residential, a determination of an area’s character more distinctly defines the intensity of development and the dimensional attributes that contribute to its pattern, form, and scale. For instance, a neighborhood with a regular pattern of lots, street grid, and garage access via alleys has a different character than a subdivision with curvilinear streets and cul‐de‐sac lots with street‐facing garages, even though the use of both is single‐ family residential. Therefore, the use of character districts will better portray the intended outcomes of development while giving assurance to neighboring property owners and allowing a better understanding of the associated impacts due to the pattern and intensity of development. Today, Zachary’s character is defined by its neighborhoods, open spaces, creeks and streams, and woodlands. To preserve this character, this plan sets forth the policies and standards for development and redevelopment. This warrants amendments to the zoning and subdivision ordinances to ensure development occurs in a manner that is consistent with the directions of this plan and the vision of the community.
