McHenry County, Illinois, Not Named for Fort McHenry
We moved out to McHenry County, Illinois, twenty-five years ago and for a very long time I was sure that the county was named after Fort McHenry. It turns out it wasn't.
It was named for William McHenry of Illinois.
He also fought in the War of 1812.
