Westmont is a community of approximately 25,000 people, 18 miles west of downtown Chicago in DuPage County, Illinois. Early settlement of the area was driven by the development of the Illinois-Michigan Canal, which was approved by the State of Illinois in the 1820s and on which construction began in the 1830s. However, the Panic of 1837 caused many of the area s settlers to turn to farming, selling their produce in the markets of Chicago. Beginning in 1840, a plank road was constructed connecting Chicago to the area that became Westmont, and the road was extended to Naperville by 1851. Today this roadway is Ogden Avenue. The area grew over the following decades, particularly after it became a stop along the Burlington & Quincy Railroad, which was completed in 1864. The Village of Westmont was officially incorporated in 1921, taking its name from the fact that, at 740 feet above sea level, it is the highest point on the Burlington Railroad Line. Today, Westmont is perhaps best known as the international headquarters for Ty Inc., the manufacturer of Beanie Babies. Westmont was also the home of blues legend Muddy Waters for the final decade of his life. Popular attractions in Westmont include Ty Warner Park and the historic William L. Gregg House.
