Calumet Park began as an appendage of Blue Island. Originally calling their town Caswell, two to three hundred ethnically mixed residents incorporated as DeYoung in 1912. Soon Polish immigrants gained control of the village, changing its name first to Burr Oak and then to Calumet Park in 1925.
Calumet Park is a beautiful place to call home. Just ask one of the many people here who already do!
