Morton Grove, Village in Cook County, Illinois, United States
Morton Grove extends across residential neighborhoods with greenhouses, forest preserves, and community centers near the Chicago metropolitan area.
The village received its name from United States Vice President Levi Parsons Morton, who funded the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad in 1895.
The Morton Grove Historical Society maintains records and artifacts that document the transformation from farming community to suburban residential area.
The Morton Grove station connects residents to Chicago Union Station through the Milwaukee District North Line of the Metra commuter rail system.
In 1981, Morton Grove implemented the first municipal handgun prohibition in the United States, which remained until federal regulations in 2008.
