There are a lot of people in Lake Holiday. We learned a lot about our population growth. The population of Somonauk has increased steadily since 1900. The population mix of our town is represented by the student population of our schools. Subdivisions are responsbile for the steady growth of our area.
Lake Holiday adds about two thousand people to our town.
Buck Lake, Dewey Subdivsion, Illowa, and Clason Estates add more. These subdivision did not exist 30 years ago. While only about 200 more people live in the village today than did thirty years ago, there are about 2,500 more people who call Somonauk home. In 1966, Somonauk's populaton was 1,100. Today, the population of people who live in the Somonauk school district is closer to 3,550.
