A Community Rooted in History

Elmhurst’s story began long before it carried its current name. The area was first named Cottage Hill in 1845, shortly after a local post office opened and helped anchor the growing settlement. Just a few years later, in 1849, the Galena and Chicago Union Railroad secured a right-of-way through the community, connecting it to Chicago and fueling local commerce. The railroad station built in 1894 remains a recognizable landmark today.

By 1869, the community had adopted the name Elmhurst, and only two years later, Elmhurst University was founded, establishing an educational legacy that continues to shape the city. Elmhurst was officially incorporated as a village in 1882, with a population between roughly 723 and 1,050 residents. In 1926, the opening of Elmhurst Memorial Hospital, the first hospital in DuPage County, cemented the city’s role as a regional center for healthcare.

Community celebration has always been part of Elmhurst’s identity. The Memorial Day Parade has been held annually since 1918, and the Elmhurst St. Patrick’s Day Parade ranks among the largest in the Chicago area. These traditions reflect a town that values connection and civic pride, values that carry into how Cameo Dental Specialists approaches patient care.

Living and Working in Elmhurst

Elmhurst has long balanced small-town character with economic strength. The Keebler Company was headquartered in the city until 2001, and major employers such as Sunshine Biscuits and McMaster-Carr Supply Co. continue to call Elmhurst home. That mix of established industry and tree-lined neighborhoods has helped Elmhurst earn recognition well beyond DuPage County. In 2014, Family Circle magazine named Elmhurst one of the Ten Best U.S. Towns for Families, citing its welcoming, community-oriented atmosphere.

For residents, that means walkable neighborhoods, strong schools, and a downtown that supports local business alongside national employers. Families who settle in Elmhurst often stay for generations, drawn by the same qualities that shaped the city from its earliest days: accessibility, education, and community investment. It is a city built around convenience without sacrificing character, which is part of why patients appreciate having specialty dental care close to home rather than needing to travel into Chicago for advanced procedures.
