About Campton Township Highway District
The Campton Township Highway District was established in 1865. The responsibilities continue to grow as our Township develops. As of today, the Highway District is responsible for over 135 miles of roadway. This includes 31 miles of Unincorporated Campton Roads, 93 miles of the Village of Campton Hills Road and 11 miles of Plato Township roads. The Campton Highway District has the largest roadway system out of the 16 Townships in Kane County. We continue to add roadways and responsibility as new subdivisions are developed, the newest being the Norton Lake Subdivision as of 7/15/2025.
When Campton was first settled, the roads carved through the wilderness were the lifeblood of commerce and communication. These rough-hewn, rural roads were vital to both Campton and the State of Illinois. The Township Highway District’s in Illinois were created to permanently oversee them.
According to Illinois Law, each township spans an area of 6 miles by 6 miles, totaling 36 square miles. When Campton was first settled, the roads carved through the wilderness played a crucial role in facilitating commerce and communication for both Campton and the State of Illinois. The creation of Township Highway Districts in Illinois ensured permanent oversight and maintenance of these essential routes.
