Vernon Hills, Residential village in Lake County, United States
Vernon Hills spans across 7.9 square miles of land in Illinois, featuring numerous parks, residential areas, and commercial districts north of Chicago.
The settlement began in 1857 when Richard Theodore Freese established a 200-acre farm, leading to its incorporation as a village in 1958 with 123 residents.
The community celebrates winter traditions through an annual Holiday Light Celebration at Century Park, bringing together residents from surrounding neighborhoods.
The Aspen Drive Library maintains a collection of 120,000 volumes and provides meeting spaces for community gatherings and educational programs.
The village administration operated from a local motel lobby during its early years before establishing permanent facilities in subsequent decades.
