COMMUNITIES OF DUPAGE DuPage has Illinois’ second largest county population behind Chicago’s home of Cook County, which borders DuPage to the north and east. Together, the two counties account for over half of the state’s population. Major municipalities include Oak Brook, Naperville, Itasca, Lisle, Lombard, Wheaton and Downers Grove. The DuPage Convention & Visitors Bureau is especially proud of our partnerships with the following communities.

DUPAGE COUNTY IS MADE UP OF 38 MUNICIPALITIES, 20 OF WHICH LIE ENTIRELY WITHIN THE COUNTY’S BORDERS. CITY OF ELMHURST
