DuPage County
Welcome to DuPage County, IL
Nestled just west of Chicago, DuPage County, Illinois is a community rich in history, natural beauty, and opportunity. Taking its name from the scenic DuPage River, the county was officially established in 1839 when it separated from Cook County, with Naperville chosen as its county seat. By 1850, thanks to the leadership of Warren Wheaton, DuPage County was organized into nine thriving townships — a foundation that continues to support its vibrant neighborhoods today.
Since its early days, DuPage County’s growth and development have been closely connected to the expansion of Chicago and the region’s major transportation routes. What began as a network of Native American trails and stagecoach routes in the 1830s has evolved into one of the most desirable suburban regions in northern Illinois. Early settlers like Bailey and Clarissa Hobson, who built one of the first gristmills in Naperville, helped establish the strong community roots that still define the area.
Today, DuPage County offers a perfect blend of modern living and historic charm. From family-friendly neighborhoods in Naperville and Wheaton to luxury homes in Hinsdale and Elmhurst, the county features some of the best real estate opportunities near Chicago.
