The small town of Elmwood Park is perfect for those looking for a friendly community to live in. It is a total of1.9 square miles, and is a little more than 12 miles away from downtown Chicago. Long ago, it was an open prairie that became farmland in the mid 1800;s. By the time the town was incorporated in 1914, it was embracing an economic and population boom that would give way to some innovative construction.
Elmwood Park’s President, Peter N. Silvestri, has served the town in this capacity since 1989. That’s pretty impressive, and he continues to work hard with promise of an aggressive modernization and economic redevelopment of the community. Check out the Public Library, which was renovated in 2002, to get a taste of things to come. Their slogan is “Village with Pride”, and their community programs, from kids’ parks to senior recreation programs have strengthened the neighborhood ties.
The area is served by the Elmwood Park Community Unit School District, which provides the following schools – Elmwood Elementary, John Mills Elementary, Elm Middle School, and Elmwood Park High School. The best part about a tight knit community such as Elmwood Park is that its citizens are very involved, and you’ll be able to see the quality reflected in the schools.
