Welcome to Hinsdale
Is located just 20 miles west of Chicago. A population of 18,000, lives on quiet suburban streets, among seven National Register of Historic Places locations. In what may be a little early insider trading, William Robbins (considered the founder of Hinsdale) knew the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad was planning to lay track near where Hinsdale would be built and bought up the land to develop homes, roads, and built the first school. The town drew wealthy Chicagoans looking to escape the industry of Chicago in the mid and late 19th century. Today Hinsdale remains a gem of the western suburbs with top schools, dining, and shopping.
