Location
Hanover Park, Illinois is a suburban community located 30 miles
northwest of Chicago. The Village has a population of 38,278 with a land
area of over six square miles. The Village is located in both Cook and
DuPage Counties.
Hanover Park is situated in the southwest portion of "The Golden
Corridor," so-named because of its phenomenal rate of growth. This
corridor stretches northwest from O�Hare Airport along the North-west
Tollway (Interstate 90). As more and more major corporations choose to
locate in the Golden Corridor, the halo effect from their presence
attracts an increasing number of businesses, both large and small,
wanting to locate in this thriving, modern center of commerce and
industry. Nearby are some of the finest recreational areas in
Chicagoland, where opportunities for hunting, fishing, water sports and
leisure activities of all kinds abound. The outstanding cultural and
entertainment opportunities in Chicago are an hour away.
History
Hanover Park was incorporated as a Village in 1958 with a population
of 305 and a land area of less than one square mile. All of the land
within the original boundaries was in Cook County. Some 750 acres of
farmland in DuPage County were annexed in 1969, and this area of the
Village dominated Hanover Park�s population growth during the 1970�s.
The Village�s population was 12,000 in 1970, 28,850 in 1980 and 32,895
in 1990. In 1994, the results of a special census showed a population of
35,579. The present population from the 2000 census is 38,278.
The council/manager form of government was adopted in 1971. The
Village is governed by a President/Mayor and six Trustees who are
elected at-large. The Village Manager is hired by the President and
Board of Trustees to oversee the day-to-day operations of the Village
and its 182 full- time employees. Pursuant to the 1970 State of Illinois
Constitution, Hanover Park is a Home Rule Community.
There are 17,358 registered voters in the Village. A total of 1,561
votes were cast in the April 2005 Municipal Election. This represents 9%
of the registered voters voting in the last election.
The $1.4 million municipal building complex, which includes the
Police Department headquarters, was built in 1975. A $2.6 million public
works building, located adjacent to the municipal complex, was completed
in the fall of 1984. A $462,000 addition to the Butler Building, for
increased vehicle storage, was completed in the  spring of 2000. A $222,000 Salt Storage Dome was
constructed next to the Public Works Facility in calendar year 2001. A
new $7.24 million headquarter fire station was constructed and opened in
2006.
The community includes diverse neighborhoods and expanding commercial
and industrial properties.
