Indian Creek is a village in Vernon Township, Lake County, Illinois, United States. It is part of the Chicago metropolitan area. Per the 2020 census, the population was 536. Police services are provided by Lake County Sheriff and fire/EMS services by the Countryside Fire Protection District.

History

Indian Creek was originally incorporated in 1958 as a response to the threat of annexation by neighboring Vernon Hills. The incorporation is known as a paper incorporation and was accomplished by attorney Harold P. Block, who became the first Chief of Police of the Village of Indian Creek.

This location may be confused with the Indian Creek Massacre, detailed below, which actually occurred in LaSalle County near Ottawa, IL. During the Black Hawk War of 1832, which was the last Indian war in Illinois, Indian Creek, was the scene of an attack, by a renegade band of 40-80 Potawatomi and Sauk, on the Davis Settlement, where 15 white settlers were killed and scalped.

Geography
