In 1909, the town name was
officially changed to the City of West Chicago; as
the rail line that connected the city of Chicago with Geneva passed
through West Chicago with passengers now as well as freight, the
rails continued to support the growth of the city. 1928 saw the
addition of an airfield – converted from a former sheep pasture –
that has now become the third busiest in the state of Illinois: Du
Page Airport.
