The Village in the Forest
Incorporated in 1872, the Village of Riverside is a historically significant community located approximately 12 miles from the Chicago loop.
Riverside is a community that is nationally and internationally recognized as one of the first planned suburban communities in the country. That recognition is enhanced because of the Village's association with world-famous landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted - the same Frederick Law Olmsted that designed New York City's Central Park, numerous university campuses including Stanford University, and the gardens of the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, among others. Accordingly, the history of Riverside is equally unique.
To this day, the charm of Riverside endures. The entire Village was designated a National Historical Landmark in 1970 due to its significance as a planned community and because of its unique original community landscaping plan that is still followed today. Riverside is a living legacy that can be enjoyed by the families living here as well as by the many that come to visit.
