Lindenhurst
Illinois, IL (60046)

Lindenhurst, Illinois incorporated in 1956 is located just 45 miles from downtown Chicago. The village covers an area of 4.1 square miles and has a population of 14,632 est. While Lindenhurst began as an offshoot of Lake Villa, its more recent growth has been oriented toward the east, approaching Millburn (now part of Old Mill Creek) and Gurnee. Lindenhurst's planners and officials expected growth to continue, and sought to minimize the problems accompanying growth by securing boundary and annexation agreements with incorporated neighbors.
