Hebron, IL
|
McHenry County, 58 miles NW of the Loop.
Yankees
were Hebron's earliest settlers, though they eventually were joined by
German,
Irish,
Dutch,
and Scandinavian immigrants. The 1860 arrival of the Kenosha & Rockford
Railroad
allowed the township's farmers to ship livestock to Chicago's stockyards. Incorporated in 1895, Hebron remains primarily a farming community, with a population of 1,038 in 2000.
