Chicago’s Top Movers in River Forest, Illinois

 We’re also proud to serve the suburban village of River Forest, IL. Located 10 miles from the Loop, the village is home to Concordia University Chicago and Dominican University and is served by a railroad station on the Union Pacific/West Line.

Native Americans inhabited this area until the 1830s. Settlers began to inhabit it thereafter, and growth was aided by relocations after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. River Forest was incorporated in 1880. Soon after, licenses for two saloons were approved to raise funds for public works projects. The community grew rapidly in the early 20th century, and its population reached a peak of 13,402 by 1970; by 2016, it was estimated to be around 11,088.
