About Bensenville
A village of about 18,813 (2020 census) in DuPage County with a small portion spilling into Cook County near O'Hare International Airport, Bensenville markets itself as the "Gateway to Opportunity." Founded as Tioga in 1873 along the Milwaukee Road and named for Bensen, Germany (the "-ville" was added because a "Benson" already existed), it remains a working-to-middle-class, aviation-and-logistics-flavored suburb: O'Hare's presence shapes the economy, with industrial and warehouse corridors alongside postwar ranches, capes, and bungalows. Housing is among the more affordable in DuPage County.
