    Two early pioneers of Lake Zurich were George Ela, after whom the Ela township is named, and Seth Paine, who established a number of commercial ventures in the town. It remained primarily a farming community; however, the arrival of the highway system with Rand Road, U.S. Route 12 in 1922 and Half Day Road, Illinois Route 22 in 1927 established Lake Zurich as a convenient summer resort.
