Welcome to the Village of Mettawa Web Site.

The Village of Mettawa is unique in Southeast Lake County, with wide expanses of natural lands and development planned to nurture the flora and fauna native to the area.

Mettawa was incorporated in 1959 when its population was 118. The goal of those residents was to preserve the woodlands and open fields as an oasis to high density development. To accomplish this they planned zoning for low (five acre) density development. Later we welcomed Lake County Forest Preserve development into the Village.

Today’s Village borders contain five large preserves: MacArthur Woods, The Adlai E. Stevenson Home, Grainger Woods, Daniel Wright and the Old School forest preserve.

Residents with horses and dogs were encouraged to stay and establish a homestead. Today, Mettawa has maintained its animal friendly atmosphere where residents can enjoy their desired lifestyle.

Since 1994, some commercial development has occurred near the intersection of Illinois Route 60 and Interstate Tollway 94. Development at this  intersection provides significant revenue to the Village, which enables the Village Board to better protect and preserve the rural character and quality of life  for the residents who settle here.

Please browse through the web site for the further information. If you cannot find what you need, phone Cathy Nelson, Village Clerk, at 847-573-1460, or Fax your question to Cathy at 224-218-2242, or contact us by clicking here.

Sincerely,

Jess D. Ray, Mayor
