History of Schiller Park, IL

The village incorporated in 1914 as Kolze, and was later named Schiller Park (1926). Although several areas were annexed into the village during the 1920s and 1930s, few homes were built. In 1932, Julia Kolze, daughter-in-law of the founder, became the first woman village president or mayor in Illinois. Her avowed strategy was to employ kitchen table economics, running the government on a budget the way she ran her household.

As the city of Chicago encroached upon nearby land, Schiller Park residents worried that their community would be annexed by the city. But although Chicago’s planning commission bought farmland for what became O’Hare Airport and the Tri-State Tollway, Schiller Park remained independent, annexing Soreng Manufacturing corporation (later Hostess Bakery) in 1949, as well as farmland for residential development in the 1950s.
