It is the newest of the eight suburban "[[North Shore]]" communities bordering [[Lake Michigan]], and is the only one developed as a planned community. Department store mogul Joseph [[Sears]] purchased 223.6 acres in one of the last undeveloped areas near Chicago's lakeshore for $150,300 in [[1889]]. Seven years later the population had reached 300 residents, fulfilling the legal requirement for incorporation. As of the [[2000]] census, the village had a total population of 2,494.
