The intersection of I-55 and Illinois Route 53; a major north-south road in DuPage Township; became a stopping-off place for travelers after the US government paved Route 66; the "Mother Road;" into four lanes in 1959. West Hill Construction Company; or rather "Mr. Dover;" launched an advertising campaign that promised housing developments for a youthful population wanting their own home and wide-open spaces to raise children. A 1960 plat map filed in Will County shows the first five lots for Bolingbrook subdivision unit one along Route 53. Within five years; Westbury; Colonial Village; and Kings Park were built; and 5;000 people accepted Mr. Dovers invitation to buy a home. Bolingbrook incorporated five years later in October 1965. Today; 50 years later; Bolingbrook contains 23;665 housing units spread over 25 square miles and is home to a diverse population of 74;411. How Bolingbrook grew from "Pathways of the Past and Future" to "A Place to Grow" is an interesting story to celebrate.
