INTRODUCTION

Village of Orland Park Administration Building

rland Park continues its wave of growth, expansion and redevelopment while maintaining its exciting progression from a historic rural community to a small Chicago suburb and ultimately to a dynamic corporate and commercial center. With a population around 60,000, Orland Park enjoys signs of affluence and sophistication.

6

The innovative architecture of the Village’s awardwinning Orland Park Village Center shows a town brimming with impressive regional shopping and new retail centers. The residential areas boast elegant executive-style homes and the corporate office parks sparkle.

Orland Park has claimed the unchallenged title of commercial center of the Chicago Southland. The

Village’s commercial arteries along LaGrange Road and 159th Street boast regional shopping centers and specialty boutiques that cater to all tastes.

These thriving corridors also offer profitable business venues for a number of major national retail entities and hundreds of smaller companies.

The number of retail choices continues along Harlem Avenue on the east side of the Village and stretches to include east-west 143rd and 151st Streets. This southwest sector of town offers many choices for both the local and the visiting shopper.

Schools and universities in the Orland Park area demonstrate excellence in education. Wellmaintained parks and facilities continue to influence an appreciation of outdoor recreation.

The Village owns more than 550 acres of park land with a diverse collection of recreational amenities from an elaborate aquatic center and modern

recreation center to playgrounds, tennis courts, sports fields, ice rinks and hiking and biking trails. The Village also preserved 270 acres of natural areas through its Open Lands Program. Thousands of acres of forest and wildlife preserves, coupled with more than 20 challenging golf courses, dominate the area surrounding Orland Park.

Orland Park is the place for the upwardly mobile, the successful entrepreneur or the executive at the top of his or her game. Its unique environment has earned recognition among America’s Top 100 Best Places to Live (Money Magazine) in both 2006 and 2008, along with a number of other regional, state and national accolades.

More than just a community, Orland Park has become a desirable lifestyle to be imitated by others as they grow. d

HISTORY

Stellwagen Farm

he Village of Orland Park held its first Board of Trustees meeting in 1892, but its history reaches further back in time. Names filter out of the past like yellowed notes tucked into the pages of an old book—names like Henry Taylor, Ichabod and William Myrick, Jacob and Bernard Hostert, Thomas Cooper and John Humphrey.

Henry Taylor arrived in 1834 and became the area’s first settler. Ichabod and William Myrick settled on 139th Street, west of Wolf Road, in 1844 and became Orland Township’s first officials. In the 1850s, Jacob and Bernard Hostert built log cabins for their families. Both structures survived the years and were reconstructed near Humphrey Woods in the 1980s by the Orland Historical Society. The Aileen S. Andrew Foundation, established by the owners of the Andrew Corporation in memory of its founding family, was a key contributor to preserving this historical part of Orland Park’s past.

When the railroad came to the settlement in 1879, the new “Sedgewick Station” forever changed the character of the community. The agrarian hamlet swiftly grew into a thriving commercial and shipping center serving surrounding farms.

The name of the Village’s first train station, “Sedgewick,” is remembered today with the Village’s Lake Sedgewick in Centennial Park.

John Humphrey’s parents brought him to the area as a child

in 1846. Later, a young Humphrey joined the thousands of hopefuls who sought riches in California’s Gold Rush. In 1861 he returned disappointed but no less enthusiastic.

Following the Civil War, he went to college in Michigan and then studied law with a firm in Chicago. He was elected to the Illinois State House of Representatives in 1870 and was subsequently re-elected a number of times. He became the state senator for the area in the mid-1800s and served in the Illinois State Senate until 1911. Humphrey is credited with having the Village of Orland Park incorporated as a municipality in 1892 and served as the Village’s first mayor until his death in 1914.

Humphrey’s Orland Park home, constructed in 1881, is a museum that was bequeathed to the Orland Historical Society when his son, John Stuart Humphrey, died in 1987.

The home was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005, joining the Twin Tower Sanctuary that was added to the register in 1989 after being saved from the wrecking ball in 1987 by then-Mayor Frederick Owens, an avid historian. The Old Orland Heritage Foundation was created to restore and preserve the Twin Tower Sanctuary, which was coincidentally re-dedicated on May 3, 2002, the 10th anniversary of Owens’s death.

The town took its name from Orland Township, which was created in 1850. Many theories on the origin of the name “Orland” have been shared over the years, with Orlands having been reported in Norway, Sweden, Finland,

Denmark, Germany, England, California, Indiana and Maine.

No one knows from where the township took its name.

Orland Park’s initial growth all but stopped around the turn of the century and remained still through much of the first half of the 1900s. Conscientious planning and foresight of Village leaders throughout the past few decades contradict notes of the late 1930s. Material written for the Federal Writers Project, obtained by the Orland Historical Society from the Illinois State Historical Library, included an interesting review of Orland Park.

With a 1938 population of 638, the Village was described as having “…no points of interest, no tours or model homes, no seasonal events, no folk customs, no tours recommended, no industries.” The final summation of the review concluded, “Town does not seem to be going forward.”

10

Fifty years later, the Village was described as exhibiting, “one of the fastest growing economies in the south suburbs,” according to economic and demographic data compiled in Profiles: An Economic and Demographic Fact Book of Chicago’s Southern Suburbs, published in 1986 by the then-State Publications and the Institute for Public Policy Administration at Governors State University.

Rapid residential, commercial and industrial development began in the 1950s with village boundaries extended and more residential and commercial developments. No longer a small rural center, Orland Park is a sophisticated community of approximately 60,000 well-educated residents and is a retail and business hub of the Chicago Southland. It is replete with fine homes, excellent schools and superb recreational facilities.

And, despite its impressive modernization and growth, Orland Park’s history is well-preserved, as was noted in the town’s 1992 centennial slogan, “Preserving the Past ~ Shaping the Future.”

Orland Park’s original downtown area, the Old Orland Historic District, was designated such in 1986. Many of the town’s original white clapboard and brick buildings still stand in the area now housing small shops and antique stores. Called “Antique Row,” this area of Old Orland is a destination of choice for antique lovers and those with a curiosity for the artifacts of yesteryear.

Building on the Old Orland Historic District designation of 1986, Village leaders most recently approved a new set of regulations and design guidelines for Old Orland, helping to preserve and enhance its distinctive community and historic character. The Village also designated 16 buildings as contributing structures and established its Façade Improvement Program to help owners and tenants of these structures restore the exteriors of the buildings.

The Village’s 2009 Historic Marker Program identifies local landmark buildings in the Old Orland area and throughout the Village with interpretive signs explaining each building’s history. The first two phases of the program call for signs being installed at the Twin Tower Sanctuary; at the oldest home in Orland Park, the residence of the Village’s third mayor, Harry Cox; at the original Christ Lutheran Church at 143rd Street and West Avenue; at Loebe Brothers General Store on Union Avenue; at the original Orland State Bank at 14316 Beacon Avenue; at the building that currently houses Anna B’s Antiques at 14330 Beacon Avenue; and at the Hostert Brothers Log Cabins on West Avenue.

Old Orland is also a part of the Village’s Main Street Triangle, which includes the rebuilding and rejuvenating of this original section of Orland Park. Antique shop owners are excited to be a part of this mixing of the old and new. The plan will add much to the historical flavor of the planned development. d

VILLAGE CENTER erhaps nowhere else in Orland Park is the character of the community so thoroughly defined as in its Village Center, a dramatic showcase of structures devoted to community service. Striking for its architecture, the 100-acre Village Center is the focal point of Village government, a place for healthy recreation and a gathering point for business and community interests.

Dedicated in 1989, the Village Center is located on property that was once part of John Humphrey’s family farm and is adjacent to the Humphrey Woods and the John Humphrey Sports Complex that debuted in 1981. It is nonpolitical in character with no imposing classical ornamentation and no ostentatious effort to look “governmental.” When the Village Center opened in the late 1980s, people from around the world and across the country visited to admire its innovative architecture.

The Village Center includes three buildings that surround three sides of a small picturesque lake. Designed by Architect Ralph Johnson of the Chicago firm of Perkins and Will, the center structures Promenade of the Franklin Loebe Center strongly reflect the influences of Frank Lloyd Wright and his Prairie School of Architecture as well as the ideas of Dutch architect Willem Marinus Dudok. The design unifies soft, curving lines and contrasting angular ones to create a memorable visual impact.

The 42,000-square-foot Frederick T. Owens Village Hall, named for the late mayor who championed the development of the Village Center, is the most prominent of the three buildings. It houses the offices of the mayor, Village clerk, trustees, Village manager and several Village departments. The building’s soaring clock tower is a point of reference for the surrounding area. The u-shaped building wraps the offices of Village officials around a two-story lobby, behind which is the two-story meeting room of the Board of Trustees. Windows covering the north wall flood the board room with natural light, creating a pleasant view of the lake and woods beyond.

The 34,000-square-foot Franklin E. Loebe Recreation Center was named in honor of the late Franklin Loebe, who served as village treasurer for 65 years from 1929 until 1994. The name Loebe has long been synonymous with commerce in Orland Park, as Loebe’s father and uncle opened Orland Park’s first general store in 1898 in

Old Orland. Loebe’s office in the Village Hall at one time overlooked the building named for him. Home to the administrative offices for the Village’s Recreation Department, the Loebe Center houses a full-sized gymnasium, a mezzanine running track, classrooms, dance studio, wrestling room and an indoor playground.

The late Village Trustee William R. Vogel was known as “Mr. Orland Park” because of his involvement in so many civic organizations. The 11,000-square-foot Civic Center was dedicated to his memory shortly after his 1996 death. The building includes a large exhibition hall, a unique circular rotunda room, an outdoor terrace that overlooks the lake and the dividable Jane Barnes Annex, named for the late state representative who helped the Village secure the funding for the building in the mid-1980s.

The Orland Park Civic Center can accommodate anywhere from 10 to 1,000 people for meetings, conventions, shows and exhibitions. It is also the ideal setting for training seminars, sporting events, trade and consumer shows, theatrical, cultural, civic, education and commercial activities. Many area residents utilize this contemporary facility for private weddings, showers, christenings and other personal events and reunions.

An arcade-style covered walkway connects the three buildings and provides access to the Village’s outdoor amphitheater, the acoustically perfect coliseum type structure in the middle of the Village Center.

Another striking edifice adorning the Orland Park Village Center is the richly symbolic Veterans Memorial designed by world renowned sculptor Virginio Ferrari. Dedicated on Veterans Day, 1995, the stainless steel sculpture is called, “Ara Pace – Place of Peace,” and lists the names of veterans from throughout the region, both living and deceased. Orland Park’s memorial is believed to be the first of its kind in Illinois and possibly the U.S. to honor all six branches of the armed services.

The Village Center uniquely defines Orland Park as a sophisticated, striking, inventive and spirited community with confidence in itself and in its future. Orland Park’s Village Center is part of the larger civic corridor that includes the Orland Township Center, the Orland Park Public Library and the national award-winning LEED Gold Certified Orland Park Police Station, the first of its kind in the country. d

EDUCATION

ealthy cooperation between educators, parents and the community has helped build a strong educational system in Orland Park, one in which students can reach for excellence—and achieve it.

Public K-12 Education Four elementary school districts serve the Village: Districts 135, 140, 146 and 118. Orland School District 135 serves a majority of the community, offering a comprehensive educational program for approximately 6,000 pre-K through eighth grade students. With 10 schools, District 135 provides a curriculum focused on a mix of the “basics”— reading and language arts, mathematics, science and social studies—and an array of elective and co-curricular programs. Students are supported by a number of auxiliary services and are able to take advantage of specialized programs, including those for academically talented students

in grades second through eight and education services for children with disabilities from birth to age 15.

Following eighth grade graduation, students enroll in one of two comprehensive high schools within Consolidated High School District 230. The district serves nearly 9,000 students from 11 suburban municipalities including Orland Park. In 2009, the district boasted an impressive graduation rate of 97.1 percent, with a majority enrolling in a college, university or trade school. Supplementing the traditional curriculum of the schools are opportunities to participate in various co-curricular activities, honors and advanced placement courses and dual credit classes where students can earn college credit.

Private and Parochial Schools Parents and students looking for an alternative to public school are afforded a number of excellent options for private and parochial schools. From early childhood learning

centers through high school, the selection of private schools is extensive. Parents opting for private grammar school educations for their children choose from St. Michael Catholic School, Christian Hills in Orland Hills, Southwest Christian Schools in nearby towns and an array of private early learning centers.

Private high school students from Orland Park attend Providence Catholic High School in New Lenox, Mount Assisi in Lemont, Chicago Christian in Palos Heights or any of the Catholic high schools in Chicago, including Brother Rice, Mother McAuley, St. Laurence, Queen of Peace, Mount Carmel or St. Rita.

Just north of Orland Park in Palos Hills, students enter the world of higher learning on the expansive campus of Moraine Valley Community College, the second-largest community college in Illinois. More than 35,000 credit and non-credit students enroll each year at Moraine, which offers transfer programs, fast-track

In September 2004, the Orland Park Public Library opened its new library located at 149th and Ravinia Avenue. Orland Park’s primary resource facility offers reading and audiovisual materials as well as state-ofthe-art technology. The library provides a wide range of services including homebound, reference and interlibrary loan services. The impressive 85,000-square-foot building, accomplished through a land/building swap with the Village, has expanded library services tremendously and has become a cultural focal point in the community. In 2007, the Orland Park Public Library was the recipient of the prestigious Brick in Architecture Award based on the creative and technical use of brick in meeting the aesthetic and functional needs of the building’s occupants. The December 2007 issue of Architectural Record goes on to say, “The building also incorporates a number of sustainable design elements, including recycled and green-sourced building materials without the cost premiums normally associated with green design.”

WORSHIP

Christ Lutheran Church

he churches and worship centers in the Orland Park area are as diverse as the people who grace this growing community. From congregations that have been here since the early settlers came to the new bodies of folks who gather in school gyms until their new buildings are completed, all kinds of faiths are represented in and around the Orland Park area.

The Village of Orland Park works diligently to network with area churches, especially when it comes to dealing with issues that affect the quality of life of the Orland Park citizenry.

Each church, house of worship and temple is unique in what it offers to those who come through their front doors. And yet there’s a spirit of caring and concern uniting all of us.

30

The community environment provides regular opportunities for worship and it provides social and outreach opportunities for adults and young people. Most importantly, the Orland Park community gives to the area residents a sense of being rooted in tradition and values that too often get lost in our fast-paced way of life.

Contact your local church, synagogue, temple or other house of worship. Don’t hesitate to visit or call and discover the kinds of programs available to you and your family. In a community growing as fast as Orland Park, and with all the responsibilities today’s families have, it’s good to attach to a community committed to the best of the human spirit. d
