Hanover Park, Illinois
Hanover Park is a village in Cook and DuPage counties in the U.S. state of Illinois. A suburb of Chicago, the population was 37,470 at the 2020 census. Ontarioville is a neighborhood within the village.
Ontarioville was initially the name assigned to the village of Hanover Park, a municipality situated on the border of Cook and DuPage Counties. Back in 1836, a stagecoach service transported residents along Lake Trail (also known as Grant Highway and later renamed Lake Street) all the way to Galena. By 1872, the Chicago & Pacific Railroad (later known as the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul) installed railway tracks on land donated by Edwin Bartlett, who contributed over seven acres for the establishment of a depot. Edwin and Luther Bartlett each established stations named "Bartlett" along the Chicago and Pacific Railroad line. Luther's station kept the name Bartlett, but to avoid confusion, Edwin renamed his station "Ontario" in 1873, after a legend that the site was built on an old Indian trail between Lake Ontario and Green Bay, Wisconsin.
A post office was established in Ontarioville in 1873.
Ontarioville was eventually incorporated into the surrounding village of Hanover Park in 1982.
According to the 2021 census gazetteer files, Hanover Park has a total area of 6.53 square miles (16.91 km2), of which 6.42 square miles (16.63 km2) (or 98.42%) is land and 0.10 square miles (0.26 km2) (or 1.58%) is water.
The Ontarioville neighbourhood lies just south of U.S. Route 20 (Lake Street), at the intersection of County Farm Road and Ontarioville Road. The Hanover Park Metra station is located along the Milwaukee District/West Line tracks that immediately parallel Ontarioville Road.
As of the 2020 census there were 37,470 people, 11,064 households, and 9,177 families residing in the village. The population density was 5,742.53 inhabitants per square mile (2,217.20/km2). There were 11,732 housing units at an average density of 1,798.01 per square mile (694.22/km2).
