Ringwood, IL

McHenry County, 55 miles NW of the Loop. After the C&NW
railroad
built through a large treeringed meadow, area residents platted a village there in 1854. Although little growth occurred for over a century, in 1994, fearing that they would lose their historic identity to an expanding
Johnsburg,
residents voted to incorporate. The population in 2000 was 471.
