Lake County, 33 miles NW of the Loop.
An 1850s settlement of English millwrights three miles west of
Libertyville is said to have inspired the area's name of Mechanic's Grove.
When the Wisconsin Central Railroad built through the area to Chicago in 1880,
local farmer John Holcomb donated land for a station and village plat, which he named after himself.
To honor the line's most notable stockholder, the railroad renamed the station after William Rockefeller in 1885.
