Excerpt: "A real boom in Clarendon Hills followed World War II. Population increased from 933 in 1930 to 5,885 by 1960. Ranches, Cape Cods, and split-levels were built on the odd-shaped lots platted almost a century before. New residents organized Episcopal, Roman Catholic, and Lutheran congregations. The Lions Club, formed in 1950, built the community's first public swimming pool. The population of Clarendon Hills in 2000 was 7,610."(Submitted on March 21, 2025, by Sean P.
