Lakemoor 101

Lakemoor is an exquisite little village that almost disappeared forever. From 1938 to 1943, Lakemoor was known as the Village of Lily Lake. In 1943, the village’s residents (obviously under the mind control of an evil villain) voted to dissolve their community. It seemed like Lakemoor would be gone forever (mwa-ha ha ha ha!). Then, in 1952, the village rose up once again, renaming itself The Village of Lakemoor, and fighting off any evil-doers who would try to stop them. We may make the history of Lakemoor sound a bit like a superhero story, but for the 6,000 highly content residents who call this town home, Lakemoor is kind of like a superhero. They love their town like the citizens of Metropolis love Superman.

Speaking of things that fly, Lakemoor is home to a lot of mosquitoes. They inhabit the wetlands around the lakes and streams and make no bones about wanting to dig right down to yours. You don’t need to go as far as this guy to ward them off, but at the very least, make sure to pack some insect repellent!

Even though Lakemoor isn't exactly spilling over with residents, it's population has been steadily growing over the past few decades. In 1952, there were just a few hundred people living in the area. By 1980, a few hundred had multiplied to 700. Since then, the population has just about doubled every 10 years. How has the village managed to grow so much each decade? Subdivisions like Lakemoor Farms and The Meadows, have been springing up. This residential growth has brought in retail stores and shopping complexes, making it easy for renters to get all their shopping done without having to drive too far. But this is no big surprise. New apartments and new shopping districts go together like the proverbial horse and carriage (or love and marriage if you ask Frank Sinatra).

Lakemoor Recreation

If you’re the sporty type, you’ll be happy to hear that pickup games of hockey are popular around here. No, not roller hockey; good old-fashioned ice hockey. Lakemoor is in the Chicago metropolitan area and that means one thing: cold winters! But do the people of northern Illinois shiver and pout and hide from the chill in the air? Absolutely not! They grab a pair of skates and a stick and head to the ice rinks.

Aside from ice rinks, Lakemoor is also home to playgrounds, basketball and volleyball courts, and a boat launch at Lily Lake. Lakemoor's parks and recreation board is hard at work improving the recreational offerings around town so you can look forward to even more amenities to enjoy in the near future. If you’re just moving into the area, volunteering to help out with the parks department’s current project is a great way to get to know some of the neighbors.
