LaGrange Village Hall
LaGrange, Illinois

The Village of La Grange was incorporated in 1879. Located approximately 14 miles west of Chicago, in Cook County, LaGrange occupies a land area of approximately 2.5 square miles and has an estimated population of 15,600.

LaGrange is a relatively affluent community with a cosmopolitan flair. As a mature community located within the inner suburban ring of a major metropolitan area, La Grange has maintained an image of quality and stability. The Village offers a diverse selection of housing alternatives, including a district of impeccably restored and maintained historic homes, an established central business district and excellent library, park and school systems. Ideally located, LaGrange is easily accessible from several major interstates and roadways, is served by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway and is convenient to both of Chicago’s major airports, O’Hare International Airport and Midway Airport. Residents enjoy equally convenient access to the attractions of the City of Chicago as well as the forest preserves and recreation areas of the western suburbs – all less than 30 minutes away.

The Village's commercial base is made up primarily of smaller businesses that provide friendly, personalized service and quality merchandise. In recent years, many dining establishments have chosen to locate in La Grange creating a distinct niche or "restaurant row" for the Village. The business community is an active participant in enhancing the vibrancy of the downtown area by maintaining attractive storefronts and by sponsoring various annual community events such as the "Pet Parade," "Endless Summer," the "Christmas Walk," and the “West End Arts Festival.”
