Northwest of Chicago, on the Fox River is the city of Elgin, most of which is in Kane County, Illinois. The history of the city dates back to 1832 when the Native Americans were forced to leave this area during the Black Hawk Indian War. As far back as 1866, the first condensed milk factory was established here and one of the finest watches of the USA was manufactured here by the Elgin National Watch Company. Elgin has a lot to offer visitors who come here on business or vacation.
