County Description
The Illinois State Legislature organized Lake County on March 1, 1839, by partitioning McHenry County. The new county was bordered by McHenry County on the west, the Wisconsin Territory to the north, Cook County to the south, and Lake Michigan to the east.
Settlers pursued trading, farming, and manufacturing in the hinterland of Chicago's growing economy. Beginning in 1836, stagecoaches traveled Green Bay Road along a route paralleling Lake Michigan that connected Chicago and Milwaukee. Waukegan, along Green Bay Road 40 miles north of Chicago, became Lake County's economic and government center because of its prospering harbor. Designated as the county seat, supplanting Libertyville, Waukegan accounted for 20 percent of county residents by 1850.
