Highwood

Rubloff


Highwood was founded in 1887 in conjunction with the establishment of Fort Sheridan, and grew up around the fort throughout much of its history. Because of this, many of the town's businesses were taverns and bars to serve the Fort and the North Shore. It set the Guinness World Record for most bars per square mile and was called "the toughest town in America" by President Theodore Roosevelt.
