520    Centuries ago, members of the Potawatomie tribe lived 
       along the beautiful DuPage River on lands that would later
       become the village of Woodridge. Situated on high ground 
       populated by wide strands of oaks and maples, this land 
       was rich in natural beauty. The modern history of 
       Woodridge began on farmlands that became home to people 
       who emigrated from Alsace-Lorraine, Bavaria, and Prussia. 
       Woodridge was incorporated on August 24, 1959, when the 
       village had 500 residents. Today, it is a prosperous and 
       progressive community with over 33,000 residents. The area
       is resplendent in its history as well as its present-day 
       caring and thoughtfulness, and Woodridge has been 
       fortunate to have astute leadership, including Mayor Gina 
       Cunningham and Village of Woodridge administrator Al 
       Stonitsch.
