Community Introduction
A city of progress and prosperity, Chicago Heights has dedicated itself to making the most of its history to promote a successful future.
Located just south of downtown Chicago, the city features an ideal location, a diverse, family-oriented character and a healthy commercial and industrial environment.
While it was originally settled as a farming town in the 1830s, Chicago Heights has developed into a formidable commercial and industrial hub.
At the same time, significant efforts are continually made to preserve and protect the distinctive residential neighborhoods that reflect the treasured historical attributes of the city.
The mix of enterprise and community makes Chicago Heights a city that continues to move forward. With the meeting of the transcontinental Lincoln and Dixie Highways in the city, Chicago Heights has been noted for decades as the “Crossroads of the Nation.” But this title refers to more than just geography — it refers to opportunity. Chicago Heights is really a “Crossroads of Opportunity” — opportunity to grow, to learn and, ultimately, to achieve.
