History edit

 
Glenview station is served by Amtrak and Metra passenger trains

The entire Northfield Township originally was known as the town of Northfield. There were different names for various areas within the community. The Post Office demanded that an official name be selected, whereupon a special meeting of the villagers was called. Various names were suggested such as Rugenville, Glenvarr, Glendale, Glengrove, Glen Hollow, Oak View, and Glenview. The name Glenview won the majority vote on May 7, 1895. The village was incorporated in 1899. Much of the Glenview area remained farmland but after World War II, developers such as Tom Sullivan began to give the township its current suburban appearance.[11][12]

The Park edit

"The Park" is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the village. Located near the center of Glenview, just south of the Glen development, The Park was established as home to a religious society in 1894 by Hugh Burnham, the first village president and nephew of architect Daniel Burnham. This religious society is based on the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg a scientist and theologian who lived and wrote in the 1700s. In the late 1890s through the turn of the century, New Church members purchased 40 acres of land and built their houses in an oval surrounding a common park area where the church and school were built. Architect Swain Nelson, one of the designers of Lincoln Park, designed the neighborhood.[13]

As part of the New Church service mission to be universally accepted as a guidepost for kindness and character, today, the are open to many students beyond the congregation and the church has been updated and expanded to accommodate a much larger Sunday service. Despite its new open focus and broadening congregation, the original church in the center and many of the surrounding buildings remain the same today as they were in 1900.

Naval Air Station edit

 
The control tower of the village's former Naval Air Station has been converted to shops as part of The Glen Town Center.

Naval Air Station Glenview was a major facility in Glenview for many years.[14] It was host to a number of squadrons, including the Coast Guard air/sea rescue helicopter service for Chicago/Lake Michigan and a squadron of P-3 Orions which had the mission of East Coast antisubmarine warfare. The rationale for basing the squadron there was that so many reserve staff were in the central United States, and it was convenient to base the facility near the staff. As a 1−2 hour checklist had to be executed before scanning the seas, there was actually little dead time in the flight to the coast. The base consisted of 1 million cubic yards (800,000 m3) of concrete, 1.5 miles (2.4 km) of runways and 108 U.S. Navy buildings. The only two buildings that are left from the naval airstation are the pilot tower and the chapel. The rest has been renovated into "The Glen Town Center" which is a shopping center.

The Glen edit

In 1995, the base was closed as part of the Base Realignment and Closure military restructuring process. The land was deeded back to Glenview by the U.S. Department of Defense. A reuse plan was completed by the Village of Glenview in 1995 and updated into a master plan by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in 1998. The village then assumed the role of Master Developer. The 1,121-acre (4.54 km2) development was named "The Glen" in 1999. It comprises approximately 15% of the area of Glenview. It contains new homes, offices, and shopping centers, including a movie theater and The Glen Town Center. Among other amenities, it includes a lake, soccer fields, tennis courts, walking and biking trails, two golf courses, Kohl Children's Museum, the Glenview Park District Park Center, Attea Middle School, and the North Glenview Metra station.

Commerce edit

A number of major U.S. corporations have major facilities or offices in Glenview, including Illinois Tool Works,[15] Reedy Industries,[16] Scott Foresman,[17] and Republic Tobacco.[18] Kraft Heinz conducts research and development at its Glenview innovation center.[19] Family Video had its headquarters in Glenview.[20] There are also several large non-profit organizations in Glenview, including the headquarters of the American College of Chest Physicians CHEST Foundation as well as the United Methodist Church's General Board of Pension and Health Benefits and Wespath Benefits and Investments agencies.

Parks and recreation edit

The Glenview Park District operates the parks and park facilities in Glenview. The Glenview Park District operates two outdoor pools (Flick Park and Roosevelt Park), the Glenview Ice Center, two golf courses (Glenview National 9 Golf Club and Glenview Park Golf Club), the Glenview Tennis Club, Wagner Farm (see below), the Grove National Historic Landmark (see below), the Kent Fuller Air Station Prairie & Evelyn Pease Tyner Interpretive Center, the Park Center (see below), Scram Memorial Chapel, outdoor skating and sledding, and numerous parks. There are also a variety of public parks that anyone can use. Parks such as Swenson Park, Cunliff Park, Little Bear Park, and many others.

On July 4, 1985, the annual fireworks display at the Glenview Park Golf Course erupted on the ground after a misfire, injuring 6 people.[22]

Park Center edit

The Park Center is a prairie-style multi-purpose community center, one of the largest in Illinois, and is located in the heart of The Glen on the shores of Lake Glenview. The Park Center has an indoor pool (Splash Landings Indoor Aquatic Complex), Park Center Health & Fitness, Park Center Preschool, Glenview Senior Center, along with many programs including arts, dance, and adult and youth sports programs.[23]

The Grove edit

 
The Grove includes the Kennicott House, which was built in 1856.

The Grove is an area of prairie that contains an interpretive center, historic buildings, and nature trails. The Grove houses many animals for visitors to interact with, such as snakes, snapping turtles, and skunks.[24] Covering 123 acres (0.50 km2), the land was formerly the home of Dr. John Kennicott, who settled in the area in 1836 from New Orleans, the Kenniott family lived in a log cabin until the Kennicott House was built in 1856. John Kennicott was influential in the advancement of horticulture in Illinois. His son, Robert Kennicott, became interested in natural history, his research contributed to the American purchase of Alaska, and he was one of the founders of the Chicago Academy of Sciences. Robert's brothers Flint and Amasa started the Kennicott Brothers floral distribution company in 1886, which is still in business today. Members of the Kennicott family lived in The Grove until 1966. The Grove was designated a National Historic Landmark by the United States Department of the Interior in 1976 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Wagner Farm edit

Wagner Farm is an 18.6-acre (7.5 ha) farm owned by the Glenview Park District. Wagner Farm is the last remnant of a much larger farm which was owned and farmed by members of the Wagner family since their arrival in this area from Trier, Germany in the 1850s. In 1997, Rose Wagner, the last surviving member of the Glenview Wagner family, died. Her will directed Glenview State Bank, the trustee for her estate, to sell the farm to the highest bidder with the proceeds to benefit her family parish, Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Glenview. A group of local citizens approached the park district and asked the district to buy the farm and preserve it as an historic working farm for the education and enjoyment of the community. With citizen support, a referendum to approve funds to pay for the farm was approved by the voters in 1998 and the park district purchased the farm in 2000. In 2007, the farm had over 54,000 visitors. Also in 2007, Wagner Farm became home to the Glenview Farmer's Market.[25]

Johann and Katharina Wagner came to the United States from their home in Weiler, Germany in the winter of 1855. They eventually settled in Gross Point (modern day Wilmette), an area with a high population of German immigrants. Over time, the Wagners established their home on the southeast corner of Lake Ave and Wagner Road, in the heart of what is present-day Glenview. By 1898, the Wagner farm encompassed approximately 91 acres (37 ha), many of which have been replaced by housing and road development today. Johann and Katharina's youngest son, Thomas, married Julia Brachtendorf of the Northfield Township in 1892, and ten years later they purchased the Hoffman farm on the northwest corner of Lake Ave and Wagner Road. This is the area known as Wagner Farm today. The area was 40 acres (16 ha) then, but Thomas also inherited land on the northeast corner of the two roads. Thomas's siblings inherited this land in the farm's estate. Thomas and Julia had 5 children, 4 of whom remained on the farm for their entire lives. The farm was operated by Thomas' children until the last member of the family, Rose (1903–1997) died in 1997. Rose stated in her Will that the farm should be sold, and placed in trust for a local catholic church, and it remains a property of the Glenview Park District today.[26]

Wagner Farm offers hands-on programs on the farm funded by the Glenview Park District. The programs themselves vary from season to season, but they include activities like horseback riding, tractor driving, and more activities that reflect the life of a farmer in the 1920s.[27]

Glenview's Farmers' Market was established in 1988 by the Glenview Women of Today. After years of running it, the group realized that maintaining the market was no longer in their interest. After the group abandoned the annual event, the Glenview Park District decided to move the market to Wagner Farm. This switch was historically suitable for the farm, given that at one point, Wagner was a truck farm that produced crops in bulk for the Chicago area. A spreadsheet of the number of crops per city that Wagner provides can be found on their website. In remembrance of Wagner's truck farming history, a market wagon was constructed, and is now in display in the museum. The Farmer's Market takes place between the days of June 25 to October 8, on every Saturday. It is located across the street from Wagner Farm, giving shoppers the opportunity to visit a working 20th-century farm. In addition to the food and other products that are produced by the farm, the Market features a different musical artist to perform each week. It is a great, family-friendly, destination.[27]

Wildlife edit

Glenview is home to a rich variety of animals. These animals coexist with the human residents of Glenview and thrive in the many forest preserves that call Glenview home. The most frequently spotted birds in Glenview include robins, sparrows, cardinals, crows, Canada geese, mallard ducks, various hawks and eagles, and occasionally great horned owls. In residential areas, squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, skunks, opossums, rats and mice cohabit with people. On nature walks through the Glen, the forest preserves, or The Grove, one can come upon white-tailed deer, and an occasional coyote or fox. Also to be seen are brown rabbits, cicadas (both the 17-year and the 4-year varieties), box and alligator snapping turtles, and sometimes small frogs and toads. Among the arthropods and insects seen in Glenview are ants, bees, mosquitoes, daddy-long-legs, wolf spiders, and many others.

Forest Preserve edit

Glenview's land includes portions of the Forest Preserve of Cook County, which spans across much of the Cook County of Illinois. The Forest Preserves encompass approximately 68,000 acres (280 km2) of open space within the urban surroundings of Chicago. The preserves are made up of forest, prairie, wetland, streams, and lakes, which are protected as natural lands. The preserves are home to many wildlife (see above), and feature a bike path, streams and lakes (including parts of the north branch of the Chicago River), the Glenview Woods, and various campsite locations.[28]

various areas within the community The Post Office demanded that an official name be selected whereupon a special meeting of the villagers was called Various names were suggested such as Rugenville Glenvarr Glendale Glengrove Glen Hollow Oak View and Glenview The name Glenview won the majority vote on May 7 1895 The village was incorporated in 1899 Much of the Glenview area remained farmland but after World War II developers such as Tom Sullivan began to give the township its current suburban appearance 11 12 The Park edit The Park is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the village Located near the center of Glenview just south of the Glen development The Park was established as home to a religious society in 1894 by Hugh Burnham the first village president and nephew of architect Daniel Burnham This religious society is based on the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg a scientist and theologian who lived and wrote in the 1700s In the late 1890s through the turn of the century New Church members purchased 40 acres of land and built their houses in an oval surrounding a common park area where the church and school were built Architect Swain Nelson one of the designers of Lincoln Park designed the neighborhood 13 As part of the New Church service mission to be universally accepted as a guidepost for kindness and character today the Glenview New Church Schools are open to many

helicopter service for Chicago Lake Michigan and a squadron of P 3 Orions which had the mission of East Coast antisubmarine warfare The rationale for basing the squadron there was that so many reserve staff were in the central United States and it was convenient to base the facility near the staff As a 1 2 hour checklist had to be executed before scanning the seas there was actually little dead time in the flight to the coast The base consisted of 1 million cubic yards 800 000 m3 of concrete 1 5 miles 2 4 km of runways and 108 U S Navy buildings The only two buildings that are left from the naval airstation are the pilot tower and the chapel The rest has been renovated into The Glen Town Center which is a shopping center The Glen edit In 1995 the base was closed as part of the Base

Farm edit Wagner Farm is an 18 6 acre 7 5 ha farm owned by the Glenview Park District Wagner Farm is the last remnant of a much larger farm which was owned and farmed by members of the Wagner family since their arrival in this area from Trier Germany in the 1850s In 1997 Rose Wagner the last surviving member of the Glenview Wagner family died Her will directed Glenview State Bank the trustee for her estate to sell the farm to the highest bidder with the proceeds to benefit her family parish Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Glenview A group of local citizens approached the park district and asked the district to buy the farm and preserve it as an historic working farm for the education and enjoyment of the community With citizen support a referendum to approve funds to pay for the farm was approved by the voters in 1998 and the park district purchased the farm in 2000 In 2007 the farm had over 54 000 visitors Also in 2007 Wagner Farm became home to the Glenview Farmer s Market 25 Johann and Katharina Wagner came to the United States from their home in Weiler Germany in the winter of 1855 They eventually settled in Gross Point modern day Wilmette an area with a high population of German immigrants Over time the Wagners established their home on the southeast corner of Lake Ave and Wagner Road in the heart of what is present day Glenview By 1898 the Wagner farm encompassed approximately 91 acres 37 ha many of which have been replaced by housing and road development today Johann and Katharina s youngest son Thomas married Julia Brachtendorf of the Northfield Township in 1892 and ten years later they purchased the Hoffman farm on the northwest corner of Lake Ave and Wagner Road This is the area known as Wagner Farm today The area was 40 acres 16 ha then but Thomas also inherited land on the northeast corner of the two roads Thomas s siblings inherited this land in the farm s estate Thomas and Julia had 5 children 4 of whom remained on the farm for their entire lives The farm was operated by Thomas children until the last member of the family Rose 1903 1997 died in 1997 Rose stated in her Will that the farm should be sold and placed in trust for a local catholic church and it remains a property of the Glenview Park District today 26 Wagner Farm offers hands on programs on the farm funded by the Glenview Park District The programs themselves vary from season to season but they include activities like horseback riding tractor driving and more activities that reflect the life of a farmer in the 1920s 27 Glenview s Farmers Market was established in 1988 by the Glenview Women of Today After years of running it the group realized that maintaining the market was no longer in their interest After the group abandoned the annual event the Glenview Park District decided to move the market to Wagner Farm This switch was historically suitable for the farm given that at one point Wagner was a truck farm that produced crops in bulk for the Chicago area A spreadsheet of the number of crops per city that Wagner provides can be found on their website In remembrance of Wagner s truck farming history a market wagon was constructed and is now in display in the museum The Farmer s Market takes place between the days of June 25 to October 8 on every Saturday It is located across the street from Wagner Farm giving shoppers the opportunity to visit a working 20th century farm In addition to the food and other products that are produced by the farm the Market features a different musical artist to perform each week It is a great family
