History
Mundelein is built on land that was home to the Potawatami Indians during the 1600s. Settlers from England came to the area during the 1800s. The community was originally named Holcomb. The name was changed to Rockefeller in 1909. It was changed to Area a few years later to honor Arthur Sheldon. Sheldon had founded a successful school in the village and the name Area was an acronym for the school's philosophy. Archbishop George Mundelein of Chicago purchased the school property after the school closed. St. Mary of the Lake Seminary was built there. The village's name was changed to Mundelein to honor the cardinal.
