History of Arlington Heights, IL

In 1830's the area known today as Arlington Heights was was acquired by William Dunton of Oswego, NY. Few years later he persuaded the Illinois & Wisconsin Railroad to make a stop here, and founded a town called Dunton. When it was incorporated in 1887, the name was changed to Arlington Heights, a part of Wheeling Township.

 
 
 
       
 
 
 

By 1900 Arlington Heights had about 1,400 inhabitants and it continued to be a mostly farm community until 1960's when the spread of car ownership, along with the expansion of the Chicago-area economy, drove the number of people in Arlington Heights to over 70,000 as per last census in 2000.

Arlington Heights IL has experienced a recent boom in development of condominiums, restaurants and other businesses in the Central Business District or downtown area of Arlington Heights, with restaurants experiencing the greatest overall success. Although land and space is now limited in Arlington Heights; business and community development along with community design are key concerns of the Arlington Heights Chamber of Commerce with over 800 individual members and about 500 business members. The Village of Arlington Heightsis also instrumental in business, residential and community development. The community is served by many fine hotels, including the Sheraton Hotel and Hotel Indigo (Palatine), located near Arlington Park racetrack.*
