24/7 Trauma and Biohazard Cleanup in East Dundee, IL

East Dundee is a village in Kane County, Illinois, with a small section spilling into Cook County, on the east bank of the Fox River about 40 miles northwest of Chicago.

East Dundee was incorporated in 1871, four years after its twin village of West Dundee across the river.

The village was first settled in the 1830s, largely by German immigrants, and its commercial core is a historic district along the Fox River and Main Street.

East Dundee had a population of 3,152 at the 2020 census, living in 1,447 households, with a notably older population — the median age was 46.5 and nearly 23% of residents were 65 or older.

Santa's Village, a Christmas-themed amusement park at the north end of the village, operated from 1959 to 2006 and reopened in 2011 under new ownership as Santa's Village AZoosment Park, combining rides with a zoo.

A former railroad bed through East Dundee is now the Fox River Trail, which follows the east side of the Fox River, and the old train depot was rebuilt in 1984 as a visitor center.

The village's historic feed and coal store later became Dundee Lumber, a downtown landmark until it burned down in March 2007.

East Dundee covers about 3.15 square miles, of which roughly 8% is water, mostly the Fox River itself.

Nina Armagno, the first female general officer of the United States Space Force, was a childhood resident of East Dundee.

DeLoris Doederlein, a longtime East Dundee resident, represented the area in the Illinois House of Representatives from 1987 to 1993.
