Green Oaks

Rubloff


Settled to the east of the Des Plaines River, the Village of Oak Grove was an endeavor requiring dense forest to be cut and swamps drained in order to begin pioneer farming in the early 1840s. When the "Village Of Oak Grove" changed its name and founded Green Oaks in 1960, all 150 residents attended the celebration dinner. At its inception, the Village was founded as a municipal barrier to intense urban and industrial expansion. Even today, listed in the Planning Commission's General Policies and Objectives is the promise to strive to protect "the opportunity to live in an open countryside environment."
