Hawthorne was founded in 1905 as the "Hawthorne Improvement Company" by real estate developers B.L. Harding and H.D. Lombard. Harding's daughter shared her birthday—July 4, American Independence Day—with New England author Nathaniel Hawthorne, and a decision was made to name the small village after him.[12]
Hawthorne was once a "whites only" settlement, commonly called a sundown town.[13] During the 1930s, signs warned African-Americans to be out of Hawthorne by sundown.[14]
