Ticona is an unincorporated community in Eden Township, LaSalle County, Illinois, United States. Ticona is located at the junction of East 550th Road and North 2101st Road, approximately northeast of Tonica. Ticona shares a ZIP code with Tonica.[2] Ticona was a stop on the Burlington Railroad's Illinois Valley and Northern line between LaSalle and Streator.[3] The railroad constructed a depot, stock yards, water tank, and small grain elevator. The Columbia Hotel of Streator built a small dancing pavilion and beer garden called Columbia Park in the woods near the depot. During a large party, a violent storm hit with lightning killing a man and destroying the park.[4] Also noted for an amateur hypnotist accidentally sending a family to sleep in 1902.[5]
