Nestled in the DuPage County of Illinois, West Chicago is a city steeped in history and cultural diversity. With roots dating back to 1855, it was built around Illinois' first railroad junction, establishing it as a significant locomotive hub. The city owes its founding to John B. Turner, president of the Galena and Chicago Union Railroad, giving birth to its original name, Turner. Over the years, the city attracted settlers mainly from England, Ireland, and later Germany and Mexico, infusing it with rich multiculturalism.

Currently, West Chicago covers a total area of 15.72 square miles, beautifully interspersed with land and water. The city is home to the sprawling West Chicago Prairie Forest Preserve, known as Truitt-Hoff Nature Preserve, and Kline Creek Farm—a living history farm from the 1890s. The city also holds the distinction of having two high schools, namely the West Chicago Community High School and Wheaton Academy, and is well-connected with two train stations on the Union Pacific West Line.
