Welcome to Palatine

A pleasant mix of suburban chic and urban amenities.

Palatine is a tranquil oasis surrounded by lush parks and open spaces. It’s situated just 30 miles from Chicago’s Loop, but it feels a world away from the hustle and bustle. Palatine exudes a pleasant mix of small-town charm intermingled with urban touches. A blend of upscale shops and boutiques and fine dining and casual eateries line the streets of this cozy community. 
 
Palatine’s growth coincided with the establishment of a new railroad station. A thriving settlement soon grew around the station, guided by the vision of Joel Wood, who surveyed and laid out the Village of Palatine in 1855. 

Palatine has a long and rich history with deep roots. The George Clayson House, built in 1873, has since been meticulously renovated and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Clayson House Museum holds more than 1,000 treasures from Palatine’s earliest days.
