The history of what is now Libertyville began around 1830 when English settler George Vardin and his family created a small settlement called "Vardin's Grove." In 1836, during the Independence Day celebration, area residents voted to call their town "Independence Grove." Several name changes later, the name Libertyville was applied to the region around 1841. After much of its downtown was destroyed by fire in 1895, the storefronts were rebuilt in brick, and still welcome visitors today.
