As of the 2010 census, the population was 916,924,[2] making it Illinois' second-most populous county. Its county seat is Wheaton.[3] County County of DuPage With a population nearing one million, DuPage County has become mostly developed and suburbanized, although some pockets of farmland remain in the county's western and northern parts. The county has a vast socioeconomic profile; residents of Hinsdale, Naperville, and Oak Brook include some of the wealthiest people in the Midwest. In 2010, Midwest Living voted Hinsdale the Midwest's second-wealthiest town, the first being Fairway, Kansas. In stark contrast, the large unincorporated area of Downers Grove Township is very blue collar, with many residents below the poverty line.[4] Contents Warrenville Grove Forest Preserve on the West Branch of the DuPage River ◾ 1 History ◾ 2 Geography ◾ 2.1 Climate ◾ 2.2 Adjacent counties ◾ 3 Demographics Seal ◾ 3.1 Religion Motto: The Magnificent Miles West of Chicago ◾ 4 Economy ◾ 4.1 National Laboratories ◾ 5 Arts and culture ◾ 5.1 Architecture ◾ 5.2 Museums and historical sites ◾ 5.3 Music and theater ◾ 6 Parks and recreation ◾ 7 Government and politics ◾ 7.1 Government ◾ 7.2 Politics ◾ 7.2.1 National Politics ◾ 7.2.2 Local politics ◾ 8 Education Location in the U.S. state of Illinois ◾ 8.1 Colleges and universities ◾ 8.2 Secondary schools ◾ 8.3 School districts ◾ 9 Infrastructure ◾ 9.1 Health care ◾ 9.2 Transportation ◾ 10 Communities Illinois's location in the U.S. ◾ 10.1 Cities Founded February 9, 1839 ◾ 10.2 Villages Named for DuPage River ◾ 10.3 Unincorporated communities Seat Wheaton ◾ 10.4 Townships Largest city Naperville ◾ 10.5 Ghost towns Area ◾ 11 See also ◾ 12 References • Total 336 sq mi (870 km2) ◾ 13 External links • Land 327 sq mi (847 km2) • Water 8.9 sq mi (23 km2), 2.6% Population History • (2010) 916,924 • Density 2,800/sq mi (1,081/km²) [5] DuPage County was formed on 9 February 1839 out of Cook County. The county took its name from the DuPage Area code(s) 630 and 331 River, which was, in turn, named after a French fur trapper, DuPage.[6] The first written history to address the name, the [7] Congressional 3rd, 5th, 6th, 8th, 11th, 14th 1882 History of DuPage County, Illinois, by Rufus Blanchard, relates: districts Time zone Central: UTC-6/-5 Website www.dupageco.org (http://www.dupageco.org) Footnotes: [1] DuPage County at the time of its creation in 1839 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuPage_County,_Illinois 8/7/2017 DuPage County, Illinois - Wikipedivisiteda on 8/7/2017 Page 2 of 7 The DuPage River had, from time immemorial, been a stream well known. It took its name from a French trader who settled on this stream below the fork “ previous to 1800. Hon. H. W. Blodgett, of Waukegan, informs the writer that J. B. Beaubien had often spoken to him of the old Frenchman, Du Page, whose station was on the bank of the river, down toward its mouth, and stated that the river took its name from him. The county name must have the same origin. Col Gurden S. Hubbard, who came into the country in 1818, informs the writer that the name DuPage, as applied to the river then, was universally known, but the trader for whom it was named lived there before his time. Mr. Beaubien says it is pronounced Du Pazhe (a having the sound of ah, and that the P should be a capital). This was in reply to Mr. Blodgett’s inquiry of him concerning the matter. ” Geography According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 336 square miles (870 km2), of which 327 square miles (850 km2) is land and 8.9 square miles (23 km2) (2.6%) is water.[8] The DuPage River and the Salt Creek flow through DuPage County. According to the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County, the highest point in the county is located at the Mallard Lake Landfill, which at its highest point is 982 feet (299 m) above mean sea level.[9] Climate In recent years, average temperatures in the county seat of Wheaton have ranged from a low of 14 °F (−10 °C) in Wheaton, Illinois January to a high of 87 °F (31 °C) in July, although a record low of −26 °F (−32 °C) was recorded in January 1985 and a record high of 105 °F (41 °C) was recorded in July 1995.

The site is a National Historic Landmark. Credit: Mike Walker, Kincaid Mounds Support Organization • Why it is endangered: Lack of funding, soil erosion and the ongoing threat of amateur archaeologists disturbing the mounds. Almost one thousand years ago, during the Middle Mississippian period, Mississippian people began building a settlement at the site that is now known as Kincaid Mounds. Today, however, flooding and limited funding is threatening the survival of this prehistoric resource.
