'''Glenview''' is a [[village]] in [[Cook County, Illinois]], United States, approximately {{convert|15|mi}} northwest of the [[Chicago Loop]]. Per the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]], the population was 48,705.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Glenview village, Illinois|url=https://data.census.gov/cedsci/profile?g=1600000US1729938|website=[[United States Census Bureau]]|accessdate=April 15, 2022|archive-date=May 13, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220513152834/https://data.census.gov/cedsci/profile?g=1600000US1729938|url-status=live}}</ref>

The Village of Glenview is governed by [[New Trier Township, llinois|New Trier]] and [[Northfield Township, Illinois|Northfield]] townships. According to the United States Census Bureau, the median household income in Glenview was $134,910 in 2022.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Explore Census Data |url=https://data.census.gov/profile/Glenview_village,_Illinois?g=160XX00US1729938 |access-date=2024-12-09 |website=data.census.gov}}</ref>

==History==
The entire Northfield Township originally was known as the town of Northfield. There were different names for various areas within the community. The Post Office demanded that an official name be selected, whereupon a special meeting of the villagers was called. Various names were suggested such as Rugenville, Glenvarr, Glendale, Glengrove, Glen Hollow, Oak View, and Glenview. The name Glenview won the majority vote on May 7, 1895. The village was incorporated in 1899. Much of the Glenview area remained farmland but after World War II, developers such as Tom Sullivan began to give the township its current suburban appearance.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dawson |first=Beverly |author-link= |author2=Donald Long |author3=Dorothy Murphy |author4=Ruth Nielsen |author5=Virginia Peterson |author6=Jean Voght |title=History of Glenview |url=http://www.glenviewhistory.org/about2.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091117040441/http://www.glenviewhistory.org/about2.html |archive-date=November 17, 2009 |access-date=November 29, 2010 |publisher=Glenview Area Historical Society}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web | last = Anne | first = Sullivan | url = http://www.sullivanbuilt.com | title = Tom Sullivan | access-date = September 12, 2013 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140103204057/http://www.sullivanbuilt.com/ | archive-date = January 3, 2014 | url-status = dead }}</ref>

===The Park===
"The Park" is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the village. Located near the center of Glenview, just south of the Glen development, The Park was established as home to a religious society in 1894 by Hugh Burnham, the first village president and nephew of architect [[Daniel Burnham]]. This religious society is based on the writings of [[Emanuel Swedenborg]] a scientist and theologian who lived and wrote in the 1700s.  In the late 1890s through the turn of the century, [http://www.glenviewnewchurch.org/ New Church] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110711052744/http://www.glenviewnewchurch.org/schools/ |date=July 11, 2011 }} members purchased 40 acres of land and built their houses in an oval surrounding a common park area where the church and school were built. Architect Swain Nelson, one of the designers of Lincoln Park, designed the neighborhood.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/2012/10/04/church-tears-down-home-of-glenviews-1st-village-president/ | work=Chicago Tribune | title=Church tears down home of Glenview's 1st village president | date=October 4, 2012 | access-date=July 29, 2013 | archive-date=December 24, 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121224124153/http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2012-10-04/news/ct-tl-glenview-mansion-demolished-20121003_1_burnham-home-park-dwellings-park-neighborhood | url-status=live }}</ref>

As part of the New Church service mission to be universally accepted as a guidepost for kindness and character, today, the [https://web.archive.org/web/20110711052744/http://www.glenviewnewchurch.org/schools/ Glenview New Church Schools] are open to many students beyond the congregation and the church has been updated and expanded to accommodate a much larger Sunday service.  Despite its new open focus and broadening congregation, the original church in the center and many of the surrounding buildings remain the same today as they were in 1900.

===Naval Air Station===
[[File:Former Glenview Naval Air Station Tower.jpg|thumb|The control tower of the village's former [[Naval Air Station]] has been converted to shops as part of [http://www.theglentowncenter.com/ The Glen Town Center].]]
[[Naval Air Station Glenview]] was a major facility in Glenview for many years.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/glenview.htm|title=Naval Air Station Glenview|access-date=April 14, 2004|archive-date=April 29, 2004|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040429110741/http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/glenview.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> It was host to a number of squadrons, including the Coast Guard air/sea rescue [[helicopter]] service for Chicago/[[Lake Michigan]] and a squadron of [[P-3 Orion]]s which had the mission of East Coast antisubmarine warfare. The rationale for basing the squadron there was that so many reserve staff were in the central United States, and it was convenient to base the facility near the staff. As a 1−2 hour checklist had to be executed before scanning the seas, there was actually little dead time in the flight to the coast. The base consisted of 1 million cubic yards (800,000 m<sup>3</sup>) of concrete, {{convert|1.5|mi|km}} of runways and 108 U.S. Navy buildings. The only two buildings that are left from the naval airstation are the pilot tower and the chapel. The rest has been renovated into "The Glen Town Center" which is a shopping center.

===The Glen===
In 1995, the base was closed as part of the [[Base Realignment and Closure]] military restructuring process. The land was deeded back to Glenview by the [[U.S. Department of Defense]]. A reuse plan was completed by the Village of Glenview in 1995 and updated into a master plan by [[Skidmore, Owings & Merrill]] in 1998.  The village then assumed the role of Master Developer.  The {{convert|1121|acre|km2|adj=on}} development was named "The Glen" in 1999. It comprises approximately 15% of the area of Glenview. It contains new homes, offices, and shopping centers, including a movie theater and The Glen Town Center. Among other amenities, it includes a lake, soccer fields, tennis courts, walking and biking trails, two [[golf course]]s, [[Kohl Children's Museum]], the Glenview Park District Park Center, Attea Middle School, and the [[North Glenview station|North Glenview]] Metra station.

Addresses in the Glenview city limits have their own numbering system.

==Parks and recreation==
The Glenview Park District operates the parks and park facilities in Glenview.  The Glenview Park District operates two outdoor pools (Flick Park and Roosevelt Park), the Glenview Ice Center, two golf courses (Glenview National 9 Golf Club and Glenview Park Golf Club), the Glenview Tennis Club, Wagner Farm (see below), the [[Grove National Historic Landmark]] (see below), the Kent Fuller Air Station Prairie & Evelyn Pease Tyner Interpretive Center, the Park Center (see below), Scram Memorial Chapel, outdoor skating and sledding, and numerous parks. There are also a variety of public parks that anyone can use. Parks such as Swenson Park, Cunliff Park, Little Bear Park, and many others.

On July 4, 1985, the annual fireworks display at the Glenview Park Golf Course erupted on the ground after a misfire, injuring 6 people.<ref>{{cite news|title=Fireworks blasts injure 15|url=https://newspaperarchive.com/daily-herald/1985-07-06/page-4|access-date=July 6, 2012|newspaper=Daily Herald|date=July 6, 1985}}</ref>

===Park Center===
The Park Center is a [[Prairie School|prairie-style]] multi-purpose community center, one of the largest in Illinois, and is located in the heart of The Glen on the shores of Lake Glenview. The Park Center has an indoor pool (Splash Landings Indoor Aquatic Complex), Park Center Health & Fitness, Park Center Preschool, Glenview Senior Center, along with many programs including arts, dance, and adult and youth sports programs.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Park Center |url=http://glenviewparkdist.org/Park-Center/Park-Center.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110514200244/http://glenviewparkdist.org/Park-Center/Park-Center.htm |archive-date=May 14, 2011 |access-date=August 4, 2023 |website=Glenview Park District}}</ref>

===The Grove===
[[File:Robert Kennicott House, Glenview (Cook County, Illinois).jpg|thumb|left|280px|The Grove includes the Kennicott House, which was built in 1856.]]

[[Kennicott Grove|The Grove]] is an area of [[prairie]] that contains an interpretive center,  historic buildings, and nature trails. The Grove houses many animals for visitors to interact with, such as snakes, snapping turtles, and skunks.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.glenviewparks.org/The-Grove/The-Grove.htm |title=Glenview Park District – The Grove National Historic Landmark |access-date=October 14, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080917024142/http://www.glenviewparks.org/The-Grove/The-Grove.htm |archive-date=September 17, 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Covering {{convert|123|acre|km2}}, the land was formerly the home of Dr. John Kennicott, who settled in the area in 1836 from [[New Orleans]], the Kenniott family lived in a log cabin until the Kennicott House was built in 1856. John Kennicott was influential in the advancement of horticulture in Illinois. His son, [[Robert Kennicott]], became interested in natural history, his research contributed to the American purchase of Alaska, and he was one of the founders of the [[Chicago Academy of Sciences]]. Robert's brothers Flint and Amasa started the Kennicott Brothers floral distribution company in 1886, which is still in business today. Members of the Kennicott family lived in The Grove until 1966. The Grove was designated a [[National Historic Landmark]] by the [[United States Department of the Interior]] in 1976 and is listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]].

===Wagner Farm===
Wagner Farm is an {{convert|18.6|acre|adj=on}} farm owned by the Glenview Park District. Wagner Farm is the last remnant of a much larger farm which was owned and farmed by members of the Wagner family since their arrival in this area from Trier, Germany in the 1850s.  In 1997, Rose Wagner, the last surviving member of the Glenview Wagner family, died. Her will directed Glenview State Bank, the trustee for her estate, to sell the farm to the highest bidder with the proceeds to benefit her family parish, Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Glenview. A group of local citizens approached the park district and asked the district to buy the farm and preserve it as an historic working farm for the education and enjoyment of the community. With citizen support, a referendum to approve funds to pay for the farm was approved by the voters in 1998 and the park district purchased the farm in 2000. In 2007, the farm had over 54,000 visitors. Also in 2007, Wagner Farm became home to the Glenview Farmer's Market.<ref>{{Cite web |date=July 14, 2008 |title=Wagner Farm: A Brief History |url=http://glenviewparkdist.org/Wagner-Farm/history.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101124232309/http://glenviewparkdist.org/Wagner-Farm/history.htm |archive-date=November 24, 2010 |access-date=August 4, 2023 |website=Glenview Park District}}</ref>

Johann and Katharina Wagner came to the United States from their home in Weiler, Germany in the winter of 1855. They eventually settled in Gross Point (modern day Wilmette), an area with a high population of German immigrants. Over time, the Wagners established their home on the southeast corner of Lake Ave and Wagner Road, in the heart of what is present-day Glenview. By 1898, the Wagner farm encompassed approximately {{convert|91|acres}}, many of which have been replaced by housing and road development today. Johann and Katharina's youngest son, Thomas, married Julia Brachtendorf of the Northfield Township in 1892, and ten years later they purchased the Hoffman farm on the northwest corner of Lake Ave and Wagner Road. This is the area known as Wagner Farm today. The area was {{convert|40|acres}} then, but Thomas also inherited land on the northeast corner of the two roads. Thomas's siblings inherited this land in the farm's estate. Thomas and Julia had 5 children, 4 of whom remained on the farm for their entire lives. The farm was operated by Thomas' children until the last member of the family, Rose (1903–1997) died in 1997. Rose stated in her Will that the farm should be sold, and placed in trust for a local catholic church, and it remains a property of the Glenview Park District today.<ref>{{cite web|title=Historic Wagner Farm|url=http://wagnerfarm.org/|access-date=October 22, 2011|archive-date=September 27, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927060728/http://www.wagnerfarm.org/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Wagner Farm offers hands-on programs on the farm funded by the Glenview Park District. The programs themselves vary from season to season, but they include activities like horseback riding, tractor driving, and more activities that reflect the life of a farmer in the 1920s.<ref name="parks">{{cite web|title=Glenview Park District|url=http://glenviewparks.org/|access-date=October 22, 2011|archive-date=October 26, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111026020817/http://www.glenviewparks.org/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Glenview's Farmers' Market was established in 1988 by the Glenview Women of Today. After years of running it, the group realized that maintaining the market was no longer in their interest. After the group abandoned the annual event, the Glenview Park District decided to move the market to Wagner Farm. This switch was historically suitable for the farm, given that at one point, Wagner was a truck farm that produced crops in bulk for the Chicago area. A spreadsheet of the number of crops per city that Wagner provides can be found on their website. In remembrance of Wagner's truck farming history, a market wagon was constructed, and is now in display in the museum. The Farmer's Market takes place between the days of June 25 to October 8, on every Saturday. It is located across the street from Wagner Farm, giving shoppers the opportunity to visit a working 20th-century farm. In addition to the food and other products that are produced by the farm, the Market features a different musical artist to perform each week.  It is a great, family-friendly, destination.<ref name="parks"/>

=== Forest Preserve ===
Glenview's land includes portions of the [[Forest Preserve District of Cook County|Forest Preserve of Cook County]], which spans across much of the Cook County of Illinois. The Forest Preserves encompass approximately {{Convert|68000|acre|km2}} of open space within the urban surroundings of Chicago. The preserves are made up of [[forest]], [[prairie]], [[wetland]], [[stream]]s, and [[lake]]s, which are protected as natural lands. The preserves are home to many wildlife (see above), and feature a bike path, streams and lakes (including parts of the north branch of the [[Chicago River]]), the Glenview Woods, and various campsite locations.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Harms Woods |url=https://fpdcc.com/places/locations/harms-woods |access-date=August 4, 2023 |website=Forest Preserves of Cook County |language= |archive-date=September 22, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230922112654/https://fpdcc.com/places/locations/harms-woods/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
