Additional Details:
Waukegan is the county seat of Lake County. Its first name was Little Fort. In 1849 the name was changed to its present form, which is said to be the Indian translation of the old name. The county takes its name from the large number of lakes (108) within its limits. Waukegan is built on the old Ft. Sheridan road on the hills overlooking Lake Michigan. The Chicago & North Western Ry. supplies excellent facilities for handling the city's traffic.
