Neighborhood Description Antioch is a village in the Antioch Township of Lake County, Illinois, United States. Antioch is part of the Chicago metropolitan area. Most of Antioch's residents work outside of the village, in Chicago or neighboring villages. Residents can reach both Chicago and Milwaukee by way of Interstate 94 and U.S. Route 41. Since 1996, Metra's North Central Service has played an increasingly important role in the development of Antioch. Weekday train service to and from Chicago appeals to many commuters and has given rise to new commercial development near the train depot. The village is currently undergoing rapid commercial and residential growth, with a majority of it along the Illinois Route 173 corridor. One of the last remaining operating Dairy Farms in Lake County also resides near much of the residential growth on Route 173 in Antioch. There were once over 1,700 farms, over four hundred which were dairy farms operating in the County in 1940. But this number has since been reduced to just 3 to 4 dairies still in operation and a little over 22,000 acres of harvested corn and soybeans left in the County. Glenraven Farms resides just west of Highway 45 on Route 173 on 325 acres and has been in constant operation since the early 1950s. Golden Oaks Farms which bordered the property into the late '90s and was also a Dairy Farm was bought by the Lake County Forest Preserve and turned into a park and conservation area. The village has some small industry, including the world-famous Pickard China factory (where Air Force One and Camp David china comes from). Downtown has a mix of small retail focused on antiques, quilting, small clothing boutiques, and a wide range of ethnic restaurants.
