Neighborhood Description Fox Lake is a village in Grant and Antioch townships in Lake County, Illinois, and Burton Township, McHenry County, Illinois, United States. The village was incorporated on December 15, 1906, and certified by the state on April 13, 1907. The area was first explored during the 17th century by the French. In the late 19th century, it was known as Nippersink Point. Early in the 20th century, there were but a few hundred residents. During the summer season, however, the population would reach an estimated 20,000 people, and at its peak, the area had 50 hotels and 2,000 cottages. Infamous Chicago gangster Al Capone is reported to have utilized an establishment now known as the Mineola Hotel and Restaurant as a hideout, although this has never been documented. In 1979, the Mineola was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and maybe the largest wooden frame structure in the state. iMove Chicago is your complete resource for Chicago apartments, lofts, condos, and homes in Fox Lake.
