Established back in the 1830s, Downers Grove Township is less than 20 minutes away from the heart of Illinois and was founded by several migrants from Europe and the northern portion of United States. This land witnessed the American Civil War and was finally incorporated in the 1870s on a date that remains hidden as an unsolved mystery. When coming to this community of more than 48900 people, you may easily enjoy a nice afternoon playing golf with your friends or visit any of the park facilities of this territory, or take a look at the The Downers Grove Park District Museum of history, antiques, and documentaries.
