About Highwood, Illinois
Highwood is a compact Lake County city on a ridge above Lake Michigan, neighboring Highland Park and Fort Sheridan. Its population was 5,074 in the 2020 census. Railroads, Fort Sheridan, and successive immigrant communities shaped its growth, while an older streetscape preserves many prewar homes and storefronts.
- Name on the RidgeThomas Curley proposed "High Woods," referring to wooded high ground between Chicago and Milwaukee.
- Fort Sheridan EraCamp Highwood was renamed Fort Sheridan in 1888, and the municipality returned to the Highwood name in 1894 after postal confusion.
- Italian ImmigrationIn the 1920s, many northern Italian immigrants, originally from Modena, arrived from Dalzell seeking work.
- Prewar StreetscapeMuch of Highwood developed before the postwar suburban boom, leaving prewar homes and brick commercial buildings with apartments above.
