VILLAGE OF MATTESON, ILLINOIS Historic. Modern. Living. In the mid 1800s, Matteson pioneers certainly could not imagine that this settlement would one day be home to nearly 13,000 residents, three school districts as well as private and parochial schools, and a booming major retail and office center.
A SENSE OF COMMUNITY. A SENSE OF BELONGING. A SENSE OF HOME.
In 1848, Fredrick Illgen purchased 40 acres from the government. These 40 acres are now the southern section of Matteson. The village was named after the 10th Governor of Illinois Joel A. Matteson, who was in office at the time of the settlement. German settlers were among the first to arrive to the area situated at the intersection of the Illinois Central and New York Central railroads. The railroads would bring thousands of people yearly from the East Coast to the Midwest, stopping in the Chicago Southland communities along the way. Some of these people decided to remain in the Matteson (pronounced Mat-te-son) area rather than proceed to Chicago. Matteson was a community of 11,378 by 1990. A "Quality of Life Task Force" was created in 1992 in order to assess and maintain the village's quality of life. As the 1990s progressed, Matteson incorporated new technologies while remaining true to its heritage.In September of 1999, Matteson celebrated its diversity with a "Hands Across Southland" in honor of "Unity Month." Residents formed a human chain that linked Matteson to other neighboring suburbs. As Matteson moves into the 21st century, it continues to prosper, to support its successful businesses and residents, and to celebrate its diversity. As of the 2010 census,[13] there were 19,009 people, 6,778 households, and 3,553 families residing in the village. Matteson is in Illinois' 2nd congressional district. Matteson is home to two school districts including Elementary School District 159 and Matteson School District 162.
