About the Libertyville, Illinois Area
 

One of the oldest communities in Lake County, Libertyville was incorporated in 1882 and once served as the county seat.  Much of the land came from the Potwatomi Indian tribe, who were forced to sell due to difficult economic conditions.  Although the population has grown to over 21,000, Libertyville is proud to maintain the feel of small town living, and boasts a restored downtown area, which had been destroyed by fire in the late 1800's. 

Students attend schools in  District 70, District 73, or District 128 high schools.  Also convenient to the area is College of Lake County, in Grayslake.

Libertyville has an extensive parks system, ran by the Libertyville Parks and Recreation Department.  There are over 600 acres of parks and open space, including Independence Grove, and the Des Plaines River with it's walking trails.  Other recreational features include the David Adler Cultural Center, Cuneo Museum, and Cook Mansion.  People of all ages can find something to do at the Libertyville Sports Complex. The area is also served by the Cook Memorial Public Library.

Libertyville is  about 45 miles north of downtown Chicago, 25 miles north of O'Hare, 50 miles south of Milwaukee's Mitchell Field, is convenvient to I-94, and is served by METRA.
