Welcome to Evergreen Park, Illlinois!
Almost one hundred and twenty years ago, while other towns surrounding Chicago were requesting
annexation to survive, Evergreen Park boldly decided to declare its independence. The population at the time was approximately 500 people. Fifty-one residents turned out on December 20, 1893 when forty of them voted for incorporation
and the area became the Village of Evergreen Park. Many of the original settlers were hard working farm families.
From these humble beginnings, Evergreen Park has become a thriving residential suburb located astride 95th Street (U.S. Route 12 and U.S. Route 20) adjacent to the attractive Beverly Hills section of Chicago and seventeen miles southwest of the Loop.
The Village encompasses an area of approximately four square miles and is bordered by the City of Chicago on the north, south and east, and by the Village of Oak Lawn on the west.
Evergreen Park is known as the "Village of Churches" as evidenced by the thirteen established religious congregations serving the community.
The U.S. Census of 2010 shows the population of the Village at 20,000.
