Long a country retreat for residents of the surrounding communities of LaGrange Park and Western Springs, the City of Countryside was not formally incorporated until 1960, with its population numbering 2,000 and an area encompassing approximately 2.75 square miles.
Countryside remained, however, a quiet farming community until the post-World War II era, when "suburbia" was born.
Countryside's residential landscape presents a pleasing blend of old and new, all situated along quiet, tree-lined streets of meticulously maintained lawns and gardens.
