Mundelein is a village in Lake County, Illinois, United States and a northern suburb of Chicago. Per the 2020 census, the population was 31,560, making this the fourth largest town in Lake County. The village straddles Libertyville Township and Fremont Township, and borders Grayslake, Ivanhoe, Diamond Lake, and Libertyville. The village lies 33 miles northwest of the Chicago Loop.

Mundelein was first settled by European settlers in 1835, and was incorporated in 1909 after a spur line connected the village to the Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee Railroad. The University of Saint Mary of the Lake opened in 1921, and in June 1926 the village hosted the closing events of the 28th International Eucharistic Congress, bringing hundreds of thousands of people to the town. Four name changes happened throughout the village's history, including two after incorporation.

History

Pre-incorporation

[edit]

Native Americans of the area, such as the Potawatomi people, were trading with French trappers as early as 1650. The Potwatomi had settled on a camp on the south end of Diamond Lake. Natives lost possession of land in the area in 1836 and were forced west of the Mississippi River. Peter Shaddle was the first European settler in 1835, and built a log cabin which is now owned by University of Saint Mary of the Lake. He later sold his claim to settlers from New York.[1]

Later settlers from England named the town "Mechanics Grove", due to the settler's occupations of millwrights, wheelwrights and carpenters. The town's first school opened in 1837 and a church the following year.[1]

The town name changed to "Holcomb" in the early 1850s, for a settler named John Holcomb. He migrated from New York in 1847 and was a civic and spiritual leader in the community through his participation in the Methodist Episcopal Church and for his service in township offices.[1][2] In 1885, he donated 20 acres of land to the Wisconsin Central Railroad. In the same year, the town name was changed to Rockefeller, after American businessman William Rockefeller Jr., who was a major stockholder in the Wisconsin Central Railroad. Rockefeller was incorporated on February 1, 1909[3] in a referendum in anticipation of an economic boom after the Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee Railroad built a spur line terminating in Rockefeller in 1904. Residents from nearby Diamond Lake, Illinois were included in the vote in order to meet the minimum resident requirements at the time, although they later withdrew from the village.[4]

Post-incorporation

[edit]

1909 to 1925

[edit]

The village was renamed from Rockefeller to "Area" in July 1909. The name came from a sales technique school located in the village called Sheldon School, which had the motto of "Ability, Reliability, Endurance, and Action".[3] In 1909, Sheldon purchased 600 acres (2.4 km2) of land for the construction of the school.[5][6] His property contained a lake named Mud Lake, which was dammed and renamed Lake Eara.[7] Sheldon had previously opened another business school in Chicago in 1902. Classes first began at the school in 1910, with students from Nicaragua, Australia, Mexico, and Germany.[6] At the school's peak, the school had over 10,000 students.[5] Sheldon's business failed, with the Electronic Encyclopedia of Chicago suggesting that the failure was a result of World War I.[4] Sheldon later sold his estate, which was purchased by the Archbishop of Chicago George Mundelein to open University of Saint Mary of the Lake in 1921.[8]

On December 10, 1924, the Village Board held a special meeting with representatives from the Soo Line Railroad, who requested that the board change the village's name to Mundelein (for the cardinal). The board voted to make the change and asked the Illinois Secretary of State to make the name change. They received permission in April 1925, and the Village Board passed an ordinance changing the village's name to Mundelein.[9]

28th International Eucharistic Congress on June 24, 1926

28th International Eucharistic Congress

[edit]
Main article: 28th International Eucharistic Congress

The closing events for the 28th International Eucharistic Congress were held in the University of Saint Mary of the Lake on June 24, 1926. Approximately half a million people came to the campus, including 10,000 nuns, 8,000 priests, 390 bishops, 64 archbishops, and 12 cardinals. Trains were used to commute people to the village every 30 minutes before mass.[10] A temporary terminal was built to accommodate the events at the current site of Carmel High School, which existed until the Great Depression.[9] 18,000 cars went through Mundelein on that day, and thousands of National Guard troops were sent to control traffic after the event. In total, 820 trains went through the Mundelein station from dawn to midnight on that day.[7]

Two events were scheduled for the Seminary, a Solemn Pontifical Mass at 10:00 am, and a Procession at 2:00 pm. During the procession, a violent thunderstorm passed the seminary, leaving people at the procession "tired and soaked to the skin". The seminary was left with litter and damaged lawns after the event.[9]

1929 to present

[edit]

Floods in 1936 and 1937 severely damaged the village. The first flood occurred on September 27, 1936, after 1.33 inches of rain fell onto the village, damaging businesses. The second occurred in June 1937, flooding the village's main road and causing further damage to adjacent neighborhoods and businesses.[11]

By the 1970s, the community was largely residential with a little light industrial development.[12] Ranches and tri-level houses were built in the 1950s and 1960s in the center of town, with larger, two-story houses in the village's periphery built from the 1970s.[13]

A major employer of the village, Ball Glass, closed in the early 1980s. The village saw economic and industrial growth during the 1990s, gaining over 10,000 residents between the 1980 and 1990 United States census.[14]

Mundelein greatly expanded in size in 2022 with the annexation of over 700 acres of land owned by the Wirtz family; the owners of the Chicago Blackhawks. The plan was to develop 1,200 houses and 600 townhomes following the annexation.[15]

Geography

[edit]

Mundelein is located 33 miles (53 km) northwest of the Chicago Loop.[4] The area of the village is 10.12 square miles (26.2 km2), 0.45 square miles (1.2 km2) of which is water.[16] The elevation of the village is 742 feet (226 m).[17] Mundelein borders Hawthorn Woods and Vernon Hills to the south and east, and is primarily located within the Indian Creek watershed in Lake County.[5]

University of Saint Mary of the Lake is a seminary in Mundelein. The seminary was designed by architect Joseph W. McCarthy. The charter for the school was initially granted in 1844, and the first version of the school was opened in Chicago. The seminary closed in 1866 due to financial problems, and the building was destroyed in 1871 in the Great Chicago Fire.[7] The Archdiocese of Chicago started purchasing land in Mundelein in 1915, and the school opened in 1921.[7] The seminary is the third largest employer in the village,[54]. The village namesake, George Mundelein, is buried in the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception on campus.[7]
