About Glendale Heights

Glendale Heights is a DuPage County village in the Chicago metro area, with more than thirty thousand residents. It was still a small farming area served by the Glen Ellyn post office in the 1950s, with only 104 residents in 1959, before suburban growth rapidly changed its scale. Today Glendale Heights is a practical, diverse west-suburban community served by multiple school districts, including districts 15, 16, and 41. Its story is less about a historic downtown and more about postwar Chicago-area growth.
