Campton Hills, Illinois
Template:Geobox Campton Hills is a village in Kane County, Illinois. The population of the village is estimated to be between 11,000 and 12,500.
The village was established on May 14 2007[1] by incorporating 20.3[2] square miles of Campton and Plato townships. The incorporation followed an April 17 referendum in which 55 percent of voters approved incorporation.
The village is served by three school districts. The majority is served by St. Charles Community Unit School District 303 while the northern end is served by Central Community Unit School District 301. Kaneland Community Unit School District 302 serves the far southwest portion of the village.
Incorporating Dispute
Since incorporation following the 2007 municipal election, 11 groups of property owners have filed civil lawsuits seeking to detach from the town and revert to unincorporated territory (Chicago Daily Herald, 1/22/08).
Advocates for unincorporating have initiated a FREE US from Campton Hills P.A.C. They are supporting write-in candidate Robert Young for Campton Hills village president in the upcoming election on February 5th.
