Evergreen Park, Illinois, with a population of approximately 25,044 people, is called “The Village of Churches” because it is home to 13 churches within only 3.2 square miles. What in modern times is called the Grand Trunk Railroad first came through the area in 1873. Later, the beautiful evergreens planted in the village park gave the village its name. As the village became a recreation area for Chicago residents, it was incorporated in 1893 to avoid being annexed by the City of Chicago. Also, in that year, the first of the village’s famous thirteen churches was established. In 1931, the Western Avenue Street Railway was extended to Evergreen Park, causing a population boom as people began moving to the quaint village to escape the big city. The village’s population more than tripled between 1945 and 1953. The village of Evergreen Park has been home to several notable people over the years. George Wendt, Bill Dwyer, Jenny McCarthy, and Mike Wengren have all called Evergreen Park home at various times.
