La Grange is located in Cook County

Population: 15,362 It was because of a visionary businessman, Franklin Dwight Cossitt, in 1870 who wanted to build his "dream" town that La Grange, Illinois today is considered a dream town by most of its 15,362 residents. La Grange is a small village encompassing only two square miles, but it is home to more than 600 businesses employing thousands of people. La Grange enjoys a vibrant downtown business district made up of over 300 shops with neighborly merchants dedicated to offering quality products and personal, small-town service. La Grange is served by two commuter rail depots and is equidistant from Interstates 90, 55, and 294 with more than 1,000 parking spaces convenient for commuters and shoppers.

The Village has a Historic District surrounding the Central Business District.
