Bensenville, Illinois
Bensenville is a village located near O'Hare International Airport in DuPage County, Illinois, with a portion of the town in Cook County. As of the 2020 census, the village population was 18,813.
First known as Tioga, it was formally established as Bensenville in 1873 along the Milwaukee Road (now Canadian Pacific) right-of-way. The community is named after Bensen, Germany, a village in the municipality of Sudwalde. A post office was established in 1873, but because there was an existing "Benson", the suffix "ville" was added.
The Edge Ice Arena is located in Bensenville, former home of the Chicago Steel junior ice hockey team and practices for the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League (NHL).
The Churchville School in Bensenville is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Barker-Karpis Gang used a house on May Street to hide kidnap victims William Hamm Jr. in 1933 and Edward Bremer in 1934, who they had kidnapped from Saint Paul, Minnesota. In 2007, homes and businesses were acquired by the City of Chicago for its O'Hare Modernization Program.
