Elmhurst, Suburban city in DuPage County, United States
Elmhurst extends across 10.28 square miles of land, featuring residential neighborhoods interwoven with commercial districts and educational institutions at 210 meters elevation.
The area transformed from Native American Potawatomi settlements to a European-American community called Cottage Hill in 1842, before incorporation as Elmhurst in 1882.
The Elmhurst History Museum presents exhibitions about local heritage while maintaining collections that document the development of this Illinois community.
The city provides access to Chicago through Metra train services, Pace buses, and major highways, with connections to O'Hare and Midway airports.
The annual Memorial Day parade, continuing since 1918, represents one of the longest-running community traditions in the Chicago metropolitan area.
