West Suburban Community Guide - Pioneer Press Communities ...

Situated upon rolling and wooded terrain, the Village of Indian
Head Park is a quiet residential community offering a balanced mix
of housing choices including single family residences, townhomes,
condominiums and rental units.
Although not incorporated until 1959, the land area now known
as Indian Head Park was very active during the early settlement of
northern Illinois. Village historical documents reference a log hotel on
Wolf Road (1833), the first school house in Lyons Township (1834)
and the organization of the Lyonsville Congregational Church (1843).
Plainfield Road, once an Indian trail, was the route of a stage coach
line extending from Chicago to Ottawa at the Illinois River. Life in
Indian Head Park offers many attributes of “small town” living. Friendly
neighbors, an active citizenry and deep civic pride characterizes
the population.
Today, Indian Head Park is a community that prides itself on be very
safe and quiet. No matter where you walk, you will be greeted by
neighbors enjoying the neighborhoods. The streets are pedestrian and
bicycle friendly, and the parks and community center a welcome treat
to all that use them.
