Elgin is a historic city located approximately 35 miles northwest of Chicago in Kane County, Illinois. Founded in 1835 along the Fox River, the city played a significant role in American manufacturing history as the home of the Elgin National Watch Company, which operated from 1864 to 1968 and was once the largest watch manufacturer in the United States.
The city's cultural landscape has been shaped by both its industrial heritage and its diverse population growth throughout the 20th century. Today, Elgin features a revitalized downtown area with historic architecture, including the notable Elgin Tower Building, and maintains several cultural institutions. The city has preserved much of its historical character while evolving into a modern suburban community, with the Arts Showcase building serving as a hub for local cultural activities.
