Downers Grove
“One of America’s Friendliest Towns”
Downers Grove was founded in 1832 by Pierce Downer. The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad was extended from Aurora to Chicago through Downers Grove in 1864, boosting its population. The town was incorporated in March 1873. The original settlers of Downers Grove were mostly migrants from the Northeastern United States and Northern Europe.
As of the 2010 census, there were 47,833 people living in the village. The village is also home to regional satellite offices of numerous national corporations, including Microsoft, MetLife, and State Farm. Downers Grove’s retail economy is largely supported by the local section of Ogden Avenue.
Downers Grove is home to many unique boutique shops, dining establishments, and community events. The Tivoli Theatre and over 140 community events and festivals, which attract thousands of visitors each year, has helped to earn Downtown Downers Grove a spot on Chicago Tribune’s “Top 10 List of Downtowns.”
