Niles, Village in Cook County, Illinois, US
The village of Niles spans across Maine and Niles townships, bordering the northwest edge of Chicago with a population of 30,912 residents.
German immigrants established the settlement known as Dutchman's Point in the early 1830s, before the formal incorporation as Niles in 1899.
The community maintains international connections through sister city relationships with Pisa, Nafplion, Leixlip, and Limanowa, representing Italian, Greek, Irish, and Polish heritage.
Residents benefit from free bus transportation services connecting neighborhoods to local shopping centers, medical facilities, and community gathering places.
The Leaning Tower of Niles stands as a replica of Italy's Tower of Pisa, measuring one-half the size of the original structure.
