Welcome to Coral Woods
By 1872 most of Coral Woods was divided into smaller 2-4 acre timber lots that provided fuel and building material for settlers. Fields were cleared for livestock grazing and hay production, which further fragmented the woodlands. In the 1920's during prohibition, the remote "Wilcox" farm was disguised as a hog raising operation, although historic records refer to it as the hot spot for the manufacturing and distilling of alcohol where the spent mash was fed to over 180 hogs. The McHenry County Conservation District acquired and started protecting the remaining woodlands at Coral Woods in 1976.
