A Brief History of Gurnee, IL
Gurnee is a vibrant village in Lake County, Illinois, situated roughly 40 miles north of Chicago along Interstate 94. The village was founded in 1928 and named after former Chicago mayor Walter S. Gurnee. Early settlers traveled to the area by foot, horseback, and covered wagon, drawn by the fertile land along the Des Plaines River.
In May 2004, Gurnee experienced some of the worst flooding in 100 years, forcing school closures and causing significant building damage across the community. Through events like this, Gurnee demonstrated the resilience and community spirit that still defines it today.
Over the decades, Gurnee evolved from a quiet farming settlement into one of the most visited destinations in the state. The village now attracts more than 23 million visitors annually, drawn by its world-class entertainment, shopping, and family-friendly attractions. Despite this growth, Gurnee has maintained the welcoming, close-knit character that makes it a wonderful place to live and raise a family.
