Hebron lies at the intersection of highways 47 and 173, south of the Illinois and Wisconsin border.
Hebron is the final resting place of Major Watson, who is believed to be the only Revolutionary War soldier buried in McHenry County. He served under General George Washington and General Marquis de Lafayette during the Revolutionary War.
Hebron also made history in 1952 when Alden-Hebron High School became the smallest school to win the Illinois High School Boys Basketball Championship when the Green Giants defeated Quincy High School 64-59 in overtime.
That victory is still celebrated to this day through Hebron’s “basketball” painted water tower!
