At the time of its incorporation, Westmont was the home of rolling prairie and vast swaths of farmland. Over the next 100 years, Westmont grew into a place known for its small-town charm and close-knit community.

It is a town that has thrived on community involvement, from its humble beginnings with an all-volunteer fire department to its current reputation for having some of the best volunteer-led events in all of Chicagoland. Westmont is a proud community that cares for its citizens and celebrates their accomplishments.
