Bensenville, Village in DuPage and Cook Counties, Illinois
Bensenville is a village in DuPage and Cook Counties, Illinois, located near O'Hare International Airport. It combines residential neighborhoods with commercial areas that serve the surrounding region.
The settlement was originally called Tioga before being renamed in 1873 in honor of a German town. The name change helped distinguish it from other communities across Illinois.
The community takes its name from a German town, reflecting deep historical roots in European settlement. This heritage connection remains part of the local identity today.
The village is accessible by Metra rail service, which connects to downtown Chicago. Visitors should be aware of local traffic patterns, especially given the proximity to the major airport nearby.
A local auto recycling business became well-known through television commercials that have aired since 1981. These ads rank among the longest-running commercial campaigns in the region.
