History

Several Indian mounds were found near here, and it is probable there was an encampment at Slocum Lake. The first priest was Father O’Neil. It was log, 20 feet long, and was heated by a fireplace in one end. The word translated from its Indian language means “Spirit Water.” When the first settlers arrived there were no Indians, as they had moved westward. It is the site of the Wauconda Bog Nature Preserve, a National Natural Landmark.

Traditions say that Wauconda was named for an Indian Chief by that name, who is buried somewhere on the southern bank of Bangs Lake, where the town hall was later built.
