Welcome to Waukegan, Illinois, where big-city amenities and small-town charm blend to form a community
that is culturally rich and family-friendly. Centered between the thriving metropolises of Chicago and
Milwaukee at the northeast corner of Illinois near the Wisconsin border, Waukegan is literally “At the Top of
Illinois.”
The city is special in that it offers a diversity of cultures, religions and ethnic heritages, award-winning schools
and parks, easy access to major transportation systems, a vital downtown and a thriving business climate, not to
mention some of the most picturesque residential areas in Northern Illinois. Nestled along the western shores of
Lake Michigan, Waukegan is an ideal place to live, work and play.
Whether starting a business, relocating your family or just visiting, Waukegan offers a cooperative approach to
help you succeed. In August 2003, the Waukegan City Council unanimously approved a 1,400-acre downtown
and lakefront redevelopment master plan designed to transform the city into a regional hub for retail, recreation,
housing and business. The project is one of the largest redevelopments in the Midwest.
The master plan includes 400 acres of prime downtown space and 3.5 miles of lakefront with a public beach
and full-service marina. The goal is to revive downtown Waukegan as a destination for jobs, housing,
entertainment, retail and dining. Immediate improvements include streetscaping, building renovation, new
parkland and better access to the lakefront. Other improvements include the $23 million renovation of the
historic Genesee Theatre and new developments on the Waukegan Road corridor. Fountain Square is being
transformed into a $250 million mixed-use development for new retail, dining and hospitality venues. The area
is also home to luxury apartments and six hotel chains, including several Marriott properties and a Holiday Inn
Express. When you visit Fountain Square, you will find Walmart and many national retailers. You can enjoy
lunch or dinner at one of the many restaurant chains including Buffalo Wild Wings and Sweet Tomatoes.
We invite you to take a closer look at Waukegan and experience its beauty, diversity and growth firsthand. We
guarantee that once you come for a visit, you’ll want to stay for a lifetime.
Waukegan has a long and interesting history of business and entrepreneurship that has adapted and changed
over the years. The area was first inhabited by various Indian tribes. They were able to prosper by living off the
land and Lake Michigan. The first European explorers came to the area around 1693 and saw the potential in fur
trading with the local tribes. From there a trading post was established to aid in the fur trade—it was known as
Little Fort.
The first white settlers started to move into the area in the 1830s for the prospect of good farming soil. Not all
early settlers were here to farm, though. The first permanent settler, Thomas Jenkins, built a store below the
bluff at Water Street in 1835. Another early business was a mill on the river that was owned by Burleigh Hunt.
In February 19, 1841, the area had a large enough population to incorporate a town, and they named it after the
original trading post.
Little Fort grew to become an agricultural hub with products able to be shipped in and out of the town via the
lake. The population of Little Fort continued to grow, as did the number of businesses in the city. The name
Little Fort was eventually changed to Waukegan and the city was officially incorporated on February 23, 1859.
Agriculture was the main focus of Waukegan until the 1880s when industries started to move in after the
establishment of the Waukegan & Southwestern Railroad (later the EJ&E). The boom of industry brought the
first major economic rise to Waukegan and the population jumped from 4,915 in 1890 to 9,426 by 1900, with
people moving here from all over the world for the many jobs that were available.
Downtown Waukegan continued to grow in the early 1900s with prominent and recognizable businesses, such
as the department stores the Globe and Hein’s, starting to make a name for themselves. By the late 1920s, more
industries were starting up in Waukegan and people were spending their free time at the large movie theatres.
As time passed, Waukegan was no longer considered to be a destination for industry and it changed to a more
service-based economy.
The City of Waukegan celebrated its Sesquicentennial in 2009. Waukegan has a rich and diverse history that is
full of interesting stories, events and people. The business of preserving the city’s history started in 1963 with
the establishment of the Waukegan Historical Society. In celebration of the Sesquicentennial, the Waukegan
Historical Society teamed up with historian Ed Link to publish the book Waukegan: A History.
Over the years, businesses have come and gone, but the spirit of the entrepreneur still thrives in Waukegan,
Illinois.
Waukegan is conveniently centered between the two metropolises of Chicago and Milwaukee along the western
shores of Lake Michigan. Located 40 miles north of Chicago and 60 miles south of Milwaukee, the City of

$13 million in new commercial construction has already taken place with hundreds of millions of dollars
already invested for new developments in the coming years. It is quickly becoming one of the largest
employment centers in Lake County.
New construction includes Fountain Square, which will house a $250 million mixed-use development for new
retail, dining and hospitality opportunities. The corridor also attracted new businesses such as Uline
Corporation, United Conveyor Corporation, Peer Inc., WMS Industries Inc., Yaskawa Electric, Dueblin
Company, Nielson-Massey Vanillas and several others.
In the city’s downtown, developments include Family Piano Co., featuring sales, rental, tuning, repair and
restoration of pianos, and Joplin’s Java & Ragtime Café, offering teaching studios, coffee bar and
entertainment. Restaurants located in downtown include the very popular Green Town Tavern. The renovated
Genesee Theatre houses many world-class arts performances and events annually.
Overall, the city expects to develop more than one million additional square feet of retail, hospitality,
recreational, educational and cultural facilities over the next two decades.
The Waukegan area is also home to the corporate headquarters of Abbott Laboratories and Baxter Healthcare
Corporation. Other widely known firms, such as A.L. Hansen and Akzo Nobel, are located in the Waukegan
area. Products produced by industries in Waukegan include pharmaceuticals, glass and paper products,
electrical and electronic components and chemicals, among others. Waukegan is home to the Lake County
Building and Courthouse, bringing an array of legal services and expertise to the downtown area. Great Lakes
Naval Training center, located just south of Waukegan, provides steady employment for thousands of area
residents and attracts hundreds of additional consumers to the city.
The highly skilled and diverse labor force of more than 45,000 people takes a no-nonsense approach toward
business and production. The clerical, professional, operational and craft occupations represent the highest
percentage of the city’s total labor force.
The city’s administration welcomes businesses to Waukegan using a cooperative approach to ensure a positive
and effective relationship. Waukegan has the resources for business and industry to broaden their horizons
today and well into the future.
Residents of Waukegan rely on a number of excellent medical centers when it comes to finding high-quality,
dependable healthcare. Waukegan provides the best healthcare available to its citizens as part of a
comprehensive, focused effort to ensure their health and well-being.
Vista Health is a network of two hospitals, Vista Medical Center East and Vista Medical Center West, a standalone, same-day surgery and treatment center with several locations for imaging and patient therapy. Although
their system has grown over time, their two hospitals have been part of Lake County for almost 100 years.
Since 2005, Vista Medical Center East, located on the north shore of Lake Michigan in Waukegan, has been a
center of advancement. Its most recent achievements include accreditation as a Chest Pain Center of Excellence
and Joint Commission certification as a Primary Stroke Center—Lake County’s first of its kind. Vista Medical
Center East also received the Gold Seal of Approval from the Joint Commission for its hip and knee
replacement program.
In early 2010, Vista Medical Center East completed the expansion of its EP Cath Lab. The Center has other
plans for expansion throughout 2010, including the renovation of its Labor and Delivery unit.
Vista Medical Center West is a leading Behavioral Health Services provider in Lake County. Our experienced
team of independent psychiatrists and psychologists, nurses and other care professionals has a unique
understanding of how to help people of all ages manage personal crises. Vista Medical Center West is also the
sole provider in Lake County for inpatient rehabilitation. Accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of
Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) signifies that Vista Health’s treatment programs meet rigorous, internationally
recognized standards for inpatient rehabilitation. Vista Medical Center West’s role in Lake County as a center
specializing in inpatient behavioral health, inpatient rehabilitation and Vista Health Corporate services was
established in July of 2005.
In addition to the major healthcare providers, there are local clinics that offer extensive medical services. The
Lake County Health Department provides clinics for physical and mental healthcare. Homebound patients can
take advantage of its skilled nurses and referral service.
Dozens of family care physicians; medical, dental and chiropractic centers; private physician offices; and
pediatric, obstetric, podiatric and optometric care facilities round out the local healthcare community whose
service and dedication to Waukegan’s well-being are second to none.
Waukegan is the county seat of Lake County, Illinois. It is governed by a body of dedicated civil servants
entrusted to maintain the highest standards, uphold the law and enrich the lives of its citizens.
The city operates under a mayor-aldermanic form of government with a mayor and nine aldermen representing
nine wards and serving as the city council. Administration of city government is headed by the mayor, who is
elected on an at-large basis for a four-year term. Although the mayor and aldermen all serve for four years, their
elections are held two years apart, making it possible for the city to maintain a realistic separation of duties and
constituencies. Administrative functions for the city are based downtown at city hall. The city’s employees and
officials ensure smooth operation within its annual budget.
The Waukegan Police Department is located adjacent to city hall. Included in the Police Department’s activities
are crime prevention techniques, D.A.R.E. programs and a mobile police unit designed to enhance
neighborhood security. The department also operates an up-to-date 911 emergency phone service to connect
callers with the city’s central communications office that immediately dispatches assistance.
The City of Waukegan also operates five full-service fire stations located throughout the community that are
staffed by professional firefighters, certified paramedics and civilian personnel. Along with their daily
emergency and rescue duties, the fire department holds fire prevention classes, teaches fire safety to school
children, conducts courtesy fire inspections for local businesses and offers free smoke detectors for homes.
Waukegan’s state-of-the-art Public Works Department is responsible for maintaining the entire infrastructure of
the city. City crews maintain a constant vigil to ensure clean streets, sidewalks, sewers and efficient water plant
operations.
The city maintains a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program that provides financial assistance
to eligible property owners and organizations. Block grant funds are federal dollars used to provide decent
housing, a suitable living environment and expanded economic opportunities, principally for low and moderate
income persons in the community.
Other departments that are integral to effective government include the City Clerk’s Office, the Waukegan
Water Department, the Department of Planning, Zoning, Building & Code Compliance, the Engineering
Department and the Collector’s Office.
Pride in its civic duty is one of Waukegan’s hallmarks, evident from the mayor’s office to the police department
and the fire department. These local officials hold the public trust in the highest esteem and provide first-rate
service and professional security for the community, making it an ideal place to live, work and raise a family.
Waukegan has a strong and vibrant faith community. Virtually all of the major churches are represented,
including Catholic, Christian, Lutheran, Baptist, Presbyterian, Greek Orthodox and others. More than 100
houses of worship call Waukegan home, which is a testament of the continued strength and stability of its
spiritual life. In addition to the many worship services available, residents can participate in a number of
outreach and social ministry programs offered through their churches.
