"Hie, license ffM | wffre $0 a yean William L^fe* was granted a mercantile lictnse in McHenry for 90 dsys for I Life Each A Chanel McHenry county, was naargQd in honor of Col. Willisyxx McHenry. He w*s an offtee* in the Blackhawk War who marched his men through this territory. He participated in the Battle of Bad Axe. This battle resulted* in driving the Blackhawk* west of the Mississippi river. The territory for the new county wai taken from Cook county as it then existed. In. the. beginning, McHenry county began at Lake Michigan an4 extended, westward. Part of this, territory later formed Lake county. In June of 1837 officers were elected for the new coUtfty Com-, missioners were appointed to lo-< cate the county seat. All of the important settlements wanted to have the county - seat located in their village. Among, the competing towns were Libertyville, HaJf Day and McHenry. Crystal Lake, too, was in the running. McHenry was near the geographical center of the county as then constituted so the commissioners decided to give the. honor to McHenry. Most of . the McHenry population in 1837 lived east of the Fox river. Among the first of the county officers were Charles Bartlett, Mathiae Mason,. Solomon Norton, (cornmissionetsl; Henry Steele, sheriff; Charles Moore, surveyor; Michael McGuire, coroner; and Seth Washburn, recorder. Until the adoption r. of the, township systsas* in< i960, the problems of taxes, roads, licenses, etc., were- settled by the board of. supervisors. The fact that the territory which now comprises MeHenty couhty was considered as only one precinct, while foure election .districts were provided/for Lake county, shows that- Laic* county was much more populous. > Tavern rates, were set' by the eaxly commissioners as follows: For breakfast, dinner or supper, 37xk cents: for horses to hay, per night, 25 ceiits; half pint of cider or beer, 6% cents; 12^ cents bought half a pint of brandy, rum or gin; wine was a little higher, half pint .of wine was 18% cents.
