About Indian Head Park, IL

The first Democratic Convention of Cook County was held in the area in 1835. At that time, Indian Head Park was closer to the center of the county, as Cook County then encompassed all of present-day DuPage and parts of Will and Lake counties. During that time the area was known as Lyonsville. Just north of the village, now on the site of the Timber Trails subdivision, is one of the last camps of the Potawatomi Indians in Illinois. The Lyonsville Congregational Church on the corner of Joliet and Wolf roads was once a stop on the Underground Railroad.
