About Gurnee, Illinois

One of the cities in which our lawyers live and work is Gurnee, Illinois. Gurnee is located within Lake County and is a popular destination for tourists in the Chicago-metropolitan area. In fact, annually, the city welcomes about 26 million visitors! This is in large part due to two of its main attractions: Gurnee Mills and Six Flags Great America.

History

The first community house, which served as the site of the Gurnee Grade School, was finished in 1836, and it was one of the city’s first landmarks. A few years later, a floating log bridge was constructed. Soon afterward, a permanent bridge was built, and roads were constructed, leading to a greater feeling of permanence for the city, as well as enhanced accessibility.

While the city was originally called Wentworth ─ named after the congressman and mayor of Chicago of the same name ─ it was renamed “Gurnee” after Gurnee Station and Mr. Gurnee, the former of which served as a critical point of entry to the city by rail. In addition to the actual railroad, which was used to provide a stop for those traveling to and from Chicago, Gurnee also served as a stop during the Underground Railroad.

Economy

Today, Gurnee’s biggest businesses and employers are Gurnee Mills, Six Flags, District 121 (Warren Township High School), Nosco Printing, and Gurnee School District No. 56. Of the more than 31,000 people who call the city home, about 60 percent are married couples, and about 40 percent of the households in Gurnee have children under age 18. The median household income is about $85,000. About 5 percent of people in Gurnee are reported to be under the poverty line.

Points of interest

Economy aside, regardless of your family or income status, Gurnee is a beautiful place to live.

Two beautiful places to visit are the Lake Carina Forest Preserve and the Waukegan Savanna Forest Preserve, both of which are within the city. In addition to outdoor, nature-based attractions, points of interest and entertainment in Gurnee include Six Flags and Gurnee Mills, the public library, Betty Russell Community Park, the Amazing Mirror Maze, and the Only Child Brewing Company. If you’re up for a drive, the Gold Pyramid House in Wadsworth, which is only about eight minutes away, is also worth seeing.
