| Oswego,
Illinois |
 |
Oswego (part of the Chicago
metro area) is located in Kendall County in northeast
Illinois just south of Aurora along US Highway 34
on the banks of the Fox River. The county is named
for Amos Kendall, Postmaster General under President
Andrew Jackson. Kendall was also a partner of Samuel
Morse, inventor of the telegraph. |

 This
village is reminiscent of a Norman Rockwell painting and
boasts one of the state's finest public golf courses,
lovely tearooms, a splendid variety of antiques and specialty
shops. |
 The
35-mile long Fox River Valley Trail runs along the Fox
River from Algonquin to Aurora, and along with its auxiliary
trails, provides some of the best hiking, biking and recreational
activities in the Chicago land area. Most of the trail
is paved. |
 Migrant
farmworkers travel to Oswego to work in the fields planting,
harvesting and processing a great variety of crops: onion,
beans, beets, kohlrabi, turnips, parsley, cilantro, dill,
dandelion, leek, swiss chard, spinach, mixed greens, and
kale. Oswego is near a large vegetable farm that provides
fresh produce to many local businesses. |
