Nettle Creek is an unincorporated community and a small village in Nettle Creek Township, Grundy County, Illinois, United States. It is part of the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin-, IL-IN-WI Metropolitan Statistical Area. In 2010, the population was 502. ==History== Nettle Creek was named after a principal tributary, now called "Little Mazon". The river (and subsequently, the town) was named after Urtica dioica, the Common Nettle, that grew immensely. Special drains had to be installed in the town so the nettle population would decline. This was done early on, in the hopes that soybeans would prosper. The first settler of Nettle Creek was a man named William Hoge. He built a cabin there in 1831, but fled to Pekin in 1835 during the time of the Black Hawk War. When he and his family returned, the crops had miraculously not been destroyed by the war, nor had the nettles grown over them. News of the fertile land spread across the state and the town boomed in the year 1900.
