About Village of Oak Park

Oak Park, Illinois was officially incorporated as a village under Illinois law on Jan. 25, 1902. Located immediately west of the City of Chicago, Oak Park is known for its architectural heritage and one of the region’s most diverse mixes of cultures, races, ethnicities, professions, lifestyles, religions, ages and incomes. Oak Park has fostered many individuals whose influences have reached far beyond its borders. Renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright, Pulitzer Prize winning novelist Ernest Hemingway, Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs, chemist Percy Julian and the mother of modern dance, Doris Humphrey, all called Oak Park Home. Even Homer Simpson was born and raised here – or more accurately, the source of his voice, Dan Castellaneta. Many other names, perhaps not so familiar, sowed the seeds of independent thinking and civic action that created the substance, reputation and legacy the Village enjoys today. Oak Parkers have championed fair housing, integration and equal treatment of all regardless of their differences. They have embraced historic preservation and environmental sustainability, including recycling, green energy and water conservation. Open government and tra...nsparency have become a cornerstone of Oak Park, a community whose residents expect more of themselves, their neighbors and their local government. Oak Park is, indeed, a special community. Working for the people of Oak Park makes us special, too
