About Wayne
A village of about 2,400 residents straddling DuPage and Kane counties, Wayne is an equestrian enclave of estate homes on multi-acre wooded lots, horse farms, and riding clubs — the Wayne-DuPage Hunt has ridden here for generations. There is no real commercial downtown; the village center is essentially residential, with daily needs met in neighboring Bartlett, St.
