High Lake was an early “streetcar suburb,” developed in 1910, and serviced by the Geneva branch of the Aurora Elgin & Chicago (AE&C), an electric interurban railway. Commuter service began in 1909 and one could travel from High Lake to Chicago in under an hour. In 1910 an attractive brick station with a clay tile roof was built. Travelers would raise a semaphore signal to stop the train at the station. Service on the Geneva branch was discontinued in 1937.
