Founded on on low ground near the Calumet River, the Village of South Holland, in Cook County, Illinois, was incorporated in 1894. The village lies 15 miles south of Chicago on the I-94, and has a total population of approximately 24,000 people.

Originally a general farming community that specialized in vegetable growing for the Chicago markets, South Holland has grown to enjoy a sound and stable economy, thanks to a sizeable and diversified business and industrial base. Shoppers find their needs in locally owned stores that line several major arteries.

South Holland is an anomaly in the South Suburban Chicago region because of its laws, that is influenced greatly by Christianity. There is no businesses opened on Sunday and no alcohol can be purchased within the village's boundaries. A strong faith by its residence is shown with the myriad of churches, which has led South Holland to be dubbed the Village of Churches.

If you have wholesome Christian values and want to live in a community that embodies those values, then South Holland is the ideal place for you since religion and family rules supreme here. There are many affordable housing of different sizes and styles that can suit your needs.
