Lake County Sheriff’s Reserve Deputy Bruce Zimmers (standing), Deputy Maria Nava, and Reserve Deputy Sgt. John Doherty hand over command of their squad car to a group of future deputies at the Lindenhurst Park District’s cancelled Touch-A-Truck event at the Lippert Community Center, 2200 E. Grass Lake Rd., Lindenhurst, on Saturday. Early morning rains prompted a decision to cancel the Touch-A-Truck event. The occasion was meant to display a variety of vehicles for children and parents to view and explore. Many attendees were unaware of the cancellation and showed up at the community center to find the only available vehicles onsite were the squad car and tactical vehicle driven by the deputies. The Park District plans to reschedule the event.

What today is known as Fox Lake has evolved from the area that was once part of the Wisconsin Glacier. The village itself has developed on a piece of land originally known as Nippersink Point and is surrounded by three of the major lakes of the Chain O’ Lakes – Fox, Nippersink, and Pistakee. Although first explored in the 17th Century by French explorers Marquette and Joliet, growth did not occur in the area until the late 1800s. The lack of roads discouraged the arrival of visitors and possible residents. With the arrival of the train to McHenry in 1854, it became much easier. Travelers would arrive in McHenry, be transported from the train station to the banks of the Fox River, where steam launches, such as the Gladene, would transfer them to the Lakes. Some visitors came to see the lotus beds in Grass Lake and others headed for the various lakes along the chain to enjoy their days on the water. Fish and waterfowl were plentiful in the Chain O’ Lakes in those days and just as the semi nomadic Native American tribes, who lived in the area, the new visitors spent their days hunting and

fishing. It was not long before visitors began to engage in other waterfront activities such as sailing, and swimming. Ease of access to the area improved in 1901 when the Milwaukee Road crossed over the Chain O’ Lakes at the very narrow point between Pistakee and Nippersink lakes. The train was on its way to the end of its line in Janesville. When a small station was built on the eastern section of Nippersink Point, even more visitors had easier access to the Chain O’ Lakes area. Fox Lake quickly became the center for the vacationing public. Cabins were built along
the shores of the lakes to house the visitors who arrived for the summer to enjoy a respite from the hot and crowded city of Chicago. Some arrived for the day or the weekend and others spent the whole summer. The village is said to have had about 50 hotels at its peak to house the visitors. Village incorporates The Village of Fox Lake was incorporated on Dec. 15, 1906. The road to incorporation was led by the resort owners of the area. At this time the lakes area was known for unlicensed gambling and alcohol sales. The Lake County leaders who were known to live mostly in the more populated areas of the county along Lake Michigan, ordered raids resulting in fines to the resorts which benefitted the county coffers. After incorporation the new government did not place many restrictions on the resorts and gambling flourished along with disregard for the prohibition of liquor. Summer visitors enjoyed these activities along with swimming and boating on the lakes. It is estimated that the summer population of the area was as high as 20,000.
