Despite what the name may imply, West Dundee isn't named after Crocodile Dundee (and thankfully, there aren't any crocs here either -- that we know of). Instead, West Dundee serves as a lovely neighborhood for residents living the midwestern life.
Yes, this place really is called "Dundee"--and that's the first thing that attracts people to the area. The city--or "village"--of West Dundee is a really small area with few new developments. Most of the town has a nostalgic feel and a lot of the buildings have retained their original 1800s-style architecture. West Dundee is situated in Dundee Township, which it shares reluctantly with East Dundee, and both villages are separated by Fox River. This village was founded back in 1834 by a gentleman called Jesse H, Newman. Around this time the area was known for brick manufacturing, but soon became the Dairy production center of the area in the 1870s. View West Dundee City Guide
