Wauconda

Wauconda is a village within Lake County. In 1850, the first town meeting was held and it was thought that most settlers arrived from New England and New York. In 1872, it was approved to officially incorporate Wauconda into its own village. Wauconda is served by School District 118, which includes elementary and middle schools, and also a high school. Bangs Lake is a natural glacial lake that is managed by Wauconda. It is considered a popular destination for recreation, and the Wauconda Park District maintains the beaches and facilities around the lake.
