As the oldest town in DuPage County, Naperville was the center of rural DuPage County life for over a century. By the 1970’s, it had become the fastest growing city in the with a population that tripled in two decades. At the heart of today’s I-88 ‘hi-tech corridor,’ the Naperville area is home to many modern research and development facilities, as well as corporations that generate thousands of jobs annually. A 50-block area of old Naperville, comprising some 650 vintage homes, has been designated a National Historic Landmark District. The central business district has also been restored to reflect the town’s pioneer heritage, and there are several noteworthy museums where historical exhibits and authentic replicas of 19th-century homes and buildings are enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.
