💎Happy 60th Anniversary, Bolingbrook!💎

On October 6th, 1965, Bolingbrook was officially incorporated. On this diamond anniversary, the Commission reflects on how important incorporation was (and remains) in shaping Bolingbrook into what it is today - a place to grow.

On June 10, 2025, Commissioner Jeanette Ginocchio was honored as one of the graduates of the Citizens Police Academy at the Coffee with the Chiefs events at Village Hall.

Coffee with the Chiefs provides Bolingbrook residents with the opportunity to meet members of the Bolingbrook Fire Department and the Bolingbrook Police Department. Residents can ask questions, engage in open and honest discussions, and learn about how our First Responders keep Bolingbrook safe.

Congratulations, Jeanette!

Our sincere thanks to Jay Purrazzo for all his contributions over the years to conserve our local history digitally on the Fountaindale Public Library's "Internet Archive" page, which has a wealth of resources related to one-room school attendance, election records dating back to the 1860's, obituaries, and more!

We must also mention that Jay keeps all our visitors warm with a steady supply of Hot Chocolate during our hugely popular annual Halloween Open House at Boardman Cemetery 🙂

Thanks for all you do Jay!
