(Prior to the civil war, Lake Geneva was on the reverse route to the Great Lake ports for slaves escaping from Southern Illinois and Eastern Kentucky. After the war, the town became a resort for wealthy Chicago families. These families built mansions on the lake, and soon Lake Geneva was known as the Newport (RI) of the West. In 1871 The Great Chicago Fire caused many Chicago families to move to their summer homes on the lake while the city was rebuilt. The construction and maintenance of these buildings helped develop a new industry in the town adding to milling, furniture, wagon and typewriter manufacturing enterprises. After arrival of the railroad, Lake Geneva shipped tons of ice to the Chicago market, until the beginning of World War II.)
