History

The area that is now Clarendon Hills was a wide, rolling prairie bordering the east side of Westmont. Most of the older villages in Downers Grove Township were built on the same street grid as the Village of Downers Grove. Instead, Clarendon Hills was built to resemble nearby Riverside, a planned, park-like suburb designed by Fredrick Law Olmsted in the late 1800’s. Its long winding streets go with the natural contour of the land, rather than extending straight through from the neighboring towns. In 1923, at the time of incorporation, Clarendon Hills had a population of under 900 people. The area was incorporated to avoid annexation by the nearby affluent community of Hinsdale.

The Clarendon Hills Historical Society is tasked with retaining the town’s history and establishing a community center and a museum to display prominent artifacts pertaining to the history of the village.

In 1961, TWA Flight 529 crashed in Clarendon Hills, killing all 73 passengers on board.

On May 11, 2022, a Metra train collided with a box truck on the Prospect Avenue grade crossing; one person lost her life.
