Situated in powerful Cook County in the Greater Chicago Area, lies the splendid Village of Western Springs. Incorporated in 1886, the Village acquired its name from the waters of its clear, cool springs. The village lies about fifteen miles southwest of Chicago’s downtown core.

Western Springs is considered to be an affluent inner ring suburban community of the Greater Chicagoland area. The presence of no industry plus excellent commuter rail service and immediate access to the Northeastern Illinois expressway system has established the Village as a quality bedroom community with a high average family income and a commitment to family values.

Village officials strive to maintain the high quality of life for its residents - in fact, Western Springs has been nicknamed Queen Of The Western Suburbs since the village has continually shone bright as an exemplary community of Chicago.

Western Springs has a charming downtown area complete with wonderfully unique bakeries, meat market, ice cream shop, coffee shop and antique stores. The Park District adds plenty to the aesthetic of the community by offering many playgrounds as well as Spring Rock Park. The Western Springs Recreation Commission runs a community center, swimming pool and other activities.
