Crete is a village in Will County Illinois with a population approximated at 8,300. The village is located 30 miles south of the Chicago Loop. Originally, the village was known as Wood's Corner and the town was founded by the family of Willard and Diantha Wood in 1936. In the 1840s and 1850s German immigrants arrived in the village. By 1869 initial businesses were established. Also in 1869, the Chicago, Danville & Vincennes Railroad came through Crete, connecting to markets in Chicago. With a rail line and established businesses, Crete grew as a commercial center and throughout the twentieth century, Crete has added large residential areas, growing into the community that it is today.
