Profile for Round Lake Beach, Illinois, IL

Residential development was spurred when Chicago magazine publisher Curtis Howe Springer ran a contest with a home in Round Lake Beach as the prize.

The community began as a summer getaway. During the depression, developer L.B. Harris began selling homes at a rock-bottom price of $295. The population increased, and residents decided in 1937 to incorporate as a village.
