Long known as a center of agriculture and recreation, it has more recently experienced rapid rates of suburbanization and urbanization, but remains primarily agricultural and rural. ==History== McHenry County was formed in 1836 out of Cook and LaSalle counties. The county was named for Major William McHenry, an Indian fighter who died in Vandalia in 1835. McHenry County originally stretched all the way east to Lake Michigan, with the county seat centrally in McHenry, but in 1839, the eastern townships of the county were carved out to form Lake County.
