LITH population grew slowly … then exploded
LAKE IN THE HILLS – For many years, the village’s population and footprint slowly grew.
The first residents of the area farmed the land and raised corn, oats and dairy cattle, among other things.
More people came to the area in 1923, when federal Judge Walter J. La Buy began buying property around what is now Woods Creek Lake, the village’s main lake. La Buy had purchased 472 acres by 1926 for his estate.
