Fox Lake, Illinois incorporated in 1907 and is located just 55 miles from downtown Chicago. The town covers an area of 9.0 square miles and has a population of 10,699 est. How did Fox Lake receive its name? Some attribute the name to the Algonquin Indian tribe (the ?Muskwaki?) who were called the ?Fox? by the French. Others believe the name came as a result of the large fox population in the area, particularly on Crab Apple Island, the site of a large Indian cornfield.

What Makes Fox Lake Unique?

- The Colonial - One of the most popular establishments was called the Colonial (later called ?Casino?), which through the years was the site of athletic contests such as swimming, foot races and a tug-of-war events. It is located in the vicinity of Fox Lake?s current Lakefront Park.
- Key Location - on a peninsula formed by three of the major Chain lakes, Nippersink Point (Fox Lake) became a major attraction for tourists and sportsmen. The Heart of the Chain O?Lakes was born.
