==History== Orland Park was first settled as "Orland" in 1834, with Henry Taylor being the area's first settler. Other original settlers include Ichabod and William Myrick, Jacob and Bernard Hostert, Thomas Cooper and John Humphrey. The Hostert brothers built log cabins for their families, which became some of the first homes built in Orland Park. In 1879 the railroad was extended to Orland Park, leading way for the towns first train station, "Sedgwick Station." This development took the town from an agrarian society to a commercial hub that provides shipping services to local farms.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Nugara |first1=Daniel |title=Orland Park IL Community Profile |date=August 11, 2011 |publisher=Townsquare Publications, LLC |location=Orland Park, Illinois |page=9 |url=https://issuu.com/villageprofile/docs/orland_park_il |access-date=October 5, 2021}}</ref> The village was incorporated on May 31, 1892.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ilsos.gov/GenealogyMWeb/niilgsrch.html|title=Name Index to Illinois Local Governments|author=Illinois Regional Archives Depository System|work=Illinois State Archives|publisher=[[Illinois Secretary of State]]|access-date=March 25, 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110624104009/http://www.ilsos.gov/GenealogyMWeb/niilgsrch.html|archive-date=June 24, 2011}}</ref> {{citation needed|date=February 2024}} [[Orland Square Mall]] opened in 1976.
