Plattville is a village in Lisbon Township, Kendall County, Illinois, United States. The village was first formed in 1860 and was named after founder Daniel Platt[2], who first built a home there in 1834 on the Frink and Walker stagecoach route between Chicago and Ottawa, IL[3].
Plattville was officially incorporated in March 2006[4] and had an estimated population of 245 in 2007.[5] Plattville's first mayor was George "Jerry" Friel, who died in 2009. He was instrumental in his role in incorporating the village of Plattville in the mid 2000s, and spent some of his own money to file the town's incorporation papers.[6]
The village is part of the Chicago metropolitan area. Yorkville lies to the north, Joliet lies to the east, and Lisbon lies to the southwest.
