The stories of Lake Forest and Lake Bluff begin with pathways. The receding of the glaciers thousands of years ago created a unique network of ridges, rivers and ravines, navigated by early peoples passing through. The high ground became thoroughfares for the Pottawatomie that European settlers later used as well. Their earliest homesteads cropped up along the Green Bay Trail and Corduroy Road.
