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,[2] approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) northeast of Tonica. Ticona shares a ZIP code with Tonica.[3] Ticona was a stop on the Burlington Railroad's Illinois Valley and Northern line between LaSalle and Streator.[4] 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.[5] Also noted for an amateur hypnotist accidentally sending a family to sleep in 1902.[6]
