Community and School Information about Glenview, Illinois

Glenview, a thriving community of over 38,000 people is located approximately 17 miles northwest of downtown Chicago. Originally the village was called South Northfield, then for a time North Branch. In 1878, Fred Hutchings named it Oak Glen. But the railroad already had a stop by that name, so another designation had to be found. After an attempt to call it Hutchings after the donor of the land (Sara Hutchings didn’t want the Hutchings’ name on the railroad station which was an unsightly old rail car), and Barr, after a railroad superintendent, it became Glen View. However, Glenview, as it is know today, is the name under which it has continued to grow and prosper.
