A Historic Village With Rolling, Wooded Land
Hinsdale was incorporated in 1873, and its downtown is a National Register Historic District. The village sits on rolling, wooded ground, with tree shaded streets and about 17,000 residents. Part of it lies in Cook County, though most of it is in DuPage County. Katherine Legge Memorial Park and long established neighborhoods are part of daily life here.
Many older homes have been replaced by new construction, often in a colonial or Georgian style. That leaves Hinsdale with a mix of historic houses that are a century old or more, and new homes with modern builds.
