Downers Grove Township is located in DuPage County

Population: 46,858 Located 19 miles west of Chicago, IL, Downers Grove offers easy accessibility to all major attractions, museums and shopping opportunities throughout the Chicagoland area. Best of all, Downers Grove offers safe and affordable accommodations within easy access of major expressways.

Since its founding in 1832, Downers Grove has been a strategic location for business and community prosperity. For founder, Pierce Downer, the huge grove of trees in the middle of the vast Illinois prairie provided the raw material needed to begin a new village. Later in the century, the railroad put Downers Grove on the main line and opened new opportunities. When Chicago began construction of its expressway system, Downers Grove was provided with an excellent transportation network. Now with the completion of the North-South Tollway, and the approval to extend this important highway south to its terminus at I-80, Downers Grove literally finds itself at the center of the transportation network in DuPage and other collar counties
