Known as White Horse when first occupied by Duth and Swede settlers circa 1695, the Borough of Stratford was incorporated in 1925.

A pivotal moment in Stratford's history occurred in the 1880s when the Rural Land Improvement Company initiated development in the area, which was then known as "Old Stratford". It was this company that bestowed the name "Stratford" upon the village, drawing inspiration from Stratford-upon-Avon, England. This choice of name by the developers suggests a deliberate strategy to imbue the nascent community with an image of historical charm, cultural resonance, or an idyllic pastoral quality, likely intended to appeal to prospective residents seeking a refined or picturesque environment. This early decision highlights the influence of planned development in shaping the initial identity and perceived value of the area, contributing significantly to its early growth and character.
