Aptakisic Doesn’t Exist

This is not an actual unincorporated area, as it has been annexed by Buffalo Grove and Lincolnshire since at least the 1980s. Use this link to geolocate the same coordinates as this article, and you will see that the nearest three tax parcels are contained within Prairie View, Buffalo Grove, or Lincolnshire. https://www.lakecountyil.gov/2093/Zoning-Maps

I can’t find any documentation to corroborate this article, and thus I recommend it for deletion. Cozyjoney (talk) 22:50, 8 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

I dug through old Chicago-area newspapers, and I found a few mentions of Aptakisic being a community (e.g. this) but nothing substantial, and the area has definitely been annexed into other places since then. I think it might make sense to redirect this to the Buffalo Grove article, since that seems to be where most of the old community ended up, including its school.
