The area was later settled by Peter Shaddle, who built the first log cabin in Mundelein in 1835. The village was later incorporated in 1865. Mundelein was originally called several different names, including Mechanics Grove, Holcomb, Rockefeller, and, &ldquo;Area.&rdquo; It was officially named Mundelein in 1925 after Cardinal George Mundelein, who opened what remains the largest operating seminary in the United States, St. Mary of the Lake, in 1921.</span></span></p>
