Welcome to Long Grove

Upscale rural enclave situated just northwest of Chicago.

Long Grove is Illinois’s first historic district and was established in the 1800s by farmers who came to town to buy supplies and have their horses shod. Today, Long Grove embraces the roots of its farming past by preserving its historic buildings, charming cobblestone streets, flowering gardens, towering trees, and conservation areas.

The original homes and businesses now bear plaques recognizing their importance to Long Grove’s history. The signature covered bridge and the village landmarks in the historic district have all been carefully preserved as the town evolved into a quaint and charming enclave for tourists and locals alike.
