City and Destination Information
The following information was provided by the Village of Lombard, Illinois. Additional information can be found by visiting their website at www.villageoflombard.org.
In the mid-1830's,
early settlers were attracted to Babcock's Grove, (as Lombard was called at
the time) by rich farmland; more settlers came when the railroad route
westward from Chicago followed the St. Charles Road Trail.
In 1927, Colonel William R. Plum bequeathed his home and adjacent lilac
gardens to the town as a park and library site. As a result of Colonel Plum's
bequest, the Lombard Park District was established by court order in 1927.
A tour of the historic downtown area, within walking distance of the commuter
train depot, highlights the significant heritage earlier residents left to
contemporary Lombard: the historic Lilacia Park, Lombard Historical Museum,
Helen M. Plum Memorial Library as well as the Maple Street Chapel, a historic
landmark in the spired Gothic style built as the original First Church of
Lombard in 1870.
