Description
Following inquiries from surrounding incorporated communities, the City of Countryside was officially incorporated in 1960. With a 1960 population of about 2,000, the City has since almost tripled its original population, primarily through annexation of surrounding residential areas. Among the first orders of business for the new city was street construction and building a water works system, both of which were developed in the 1960's. The construction of the Stevenson Expressway in the mid-1960's, when combined with the heavily traveled LaGrange Rd., also created a great deal of retail and industrial growth in and around Countryside through the 1980's, including the construction of the landmark 548,000 sq. ft. Countryside Plaza.
