The Village of Country Living

 
The Village of Wadsworth, incorporated in 1962, and with a current population of around 3,500, prides itself on its rural character, as exemplified by the one-acre minimum requirement for a residential lot, and also by its proximity to active farmlands and Lake County Forest Preserve holdings. 
 
Strategically located in northern Lake County, IL, the Village spreads across Benton, Newport and Warren Townships, and is centered within the Cities of Waukegan and Zion, and the Villages of Beach Park, Gurnee and Old Mill Creek. 
 
In this unique position, the Village of Country Living warmly salutes and welcomes the numerous commuters who enter and leave the State of Illinois at the northern end of I-94 at the Wisconsin State Line.
