Hainesville, IL
|
Lake County, 39 miles NW of the Loop. Elijah Haines platted a village along the
Waukegan
to
McHenry
stagecoach trail in 1846. Residents organized a village government the following year, making Hainesville the oldest incorporated community in
Lake County.
When the Milwaukee Road
Railroad
set its construction camp at
Round Lake
in 1899, Hainesville languished for almost a century. The population of 134 in 1990 grew suddenly, to 2,129, in 2000.
