Glenview is avillage inCook County, Illinois, United States. It is located approximately 15 miles (24 km) northwest of theDowntown Chicago. Per the2020 census, the population was 48,705.[4] The Village of Glenview is governed byNew Trier andNorthfield townships.
The entire Northfield Township originally was known as the town of Northfield. There were different names for various areas within the community. The Post Office demanded that an official name be selected, whereupon a special meeting of the villagers was called. Various names were suggested such as Rugenville, Glenvarr, Glendale, Glengrove, Glen Hollow, Oak View, and Glenview. The name Glenview won the majority vote on May 7, 1895. The village was incorporated in 1899. Much of the Glenview area remained farmland but after World War II, developers such as Tom Sullivan began to give the township its current suburban appearance.[5][6]
The Park is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the village, and was established as home to a religious society in 1894 by Hugh Burnham, the first village president and nephew of architectDaniel Burnham. This religious society is based on the writings ofEmanuel Swedenborg a scientist and theologian who lived and wrote in the 1700s. In the late 1890s through the turn of the century, New Church[7] members purchased 40 acres of land and built their houses in an oval surrounding a common park area where the church and school were built. Architect Swain Nelson, one of the designers of Lincoln Park, designed the neighborhood.[8]
Naval Air Station Glenview[9] was a base for Coast Guard air/sea rescue helicopter service for Chicago/Lake Michigan and a squadron ofP-3 Orions which had the mission of East Coast antisubmarine warfare. In 1995, the base closed and was converted into a 1,121-acre (4.54 km2) development named "The Glen", which comprises approximately 15% of Glenview. It contains homes, offices, shopping centers, The Glen Town Center, a lake, soccer fields, tennis courts, walking and biking trails, two golf courses,Kohl Children's Museum, the Glenview Park District Park Center, Attea Middle School, and theNorth Glenview Metra station.[citation needed]
