==History==
The village is named for Michel or Pierre Bureau. Their original surname was probably Belleau, but local aboriginals may have had difficulty pronouncing the "l" sound. One or both of the brothers ran a trading post near where Big Bureau Creek empties into the Illinois River from 1776 until 1780 or 1790.〔(Pierre de Beuro, an Indian trader ) ''Pioneers of Illinois'' by Nehemiah Matson, 1882, p. 229〕〔(Jean Baptiste Point de Sable : the founder of modern Chicago ) by John F. Swenson, 1999- . Retrieved 11 November 2010.〕
