About Hinsdale
A village of about 17,395 (2020 census) in DuPage County with a small Cook County portion, Hinsdale is one of the communities in Illinois and the nation — incorporated April 1, 1873 and 15 miles west of the Chicago Loop. Its historic district holds stately Victorians, Prairie-style, American Foursquare, and Tudor Revival homes from the early 1900s, and the walkable downtown is a dining and shopping destination — a "New England charm meets Midwestern sensibility" blend locals describe as a Norman Rockwell painting.
