McHenry County is a county located in the U.S. state of Illinois. According to the 2010 census, it had a population of 308,760,[2] making it the sixth-most populous county in Illinois. Its county seat is Woodstock.[3]
McHenry County is one of the five collar counties of the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN-WI Metropolitan Statistical Area. Long known as a center of agriculture and recreation, it has more recently experienced rapid rates of suburbanization and urbanization, but the northern and western portions of the county remain primarily agricultural and rural.
In 2012, the Hackmatack National Wildlife Refuge was established and encompasses parts of McHenry County.
History
McHenry County was formed in 1836 out of Cook and LaSalle counties. The county was named for Major William McHenry, a member of the Illinois Militia during Tecumseh's War, a major during the Blackhawk War in 1832, and a member of the Illinois House of Representatives and Senate. He died in Vandalia in 1835.
McHenry County originally stretched all the way east to Lake Michigan, with the county seat centrally in McHenry, but in 1839, the eastern townships of the county were carved out to form Lake County.

Major highways
Several Federal and state highways run through McHenry County, including U.S. Highway 20, U.S. Highway 14, U.S. Highway 12, Illinois Route 22, Illinois Route 23, Illinois Route 173, Illinois Route 120, Illinois Route 176, Illinois Route 47, Illinois Route 31, and Illinois Route 62. Highly traveled county highways include Randall Road, Algonquin Road, Rakow Road, and Walkup Road.
While Interstate 90 travels through the southwestern portion of the county, McHenry County is currently the most populous county in the United States without direct access to an Interstate Highway within its borders. As a result, residents usually use the nearby Interstate 90 (the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway), via interchanges just to the south of the county in neighboring Kane County to access the interstate highway system. A new interchange is under construction at I-90 and Illinois Route 23, which will finally provide McHenry County with an access point to the interstate highway system within its borders.
Interstate 94 lies to the east of McHenry County in Lake County, Illinois.
