Bridgeview Wedding

Bridgeview is a village in Cook County, Illinois, in the United States. It is located approximately 13 miles from the Chicago Loop. As of the 2000 census, the village population was 15,335.

The earliest settlement in Bridgeview occurred in the 1830s, when the area was still populated by Native American groups. By the 1870s German settlers began moving into the area for farming purposes. Italians migrated to the area by the 1920s at which time farming began to decline; real estate and industry began to develop the area considerably. When Lake Michigan water became available to the area, the population began to grow significantly. Bridgeview was incorporated in 1947 with an initial population of approximately 500 residents.

Bridgeview's motto is "A Well Balanced Community," as the village's zoning is divided equally into residential, commercial, and industrial areas. Its proximity to Chicago's Midway airport and downtown, along with access to major highways, has made it a crossroads of the inner southwest suburbs.

The Fifth District Circuit Court of Cook County is located in Bridgeview near 103rd Street and 76th Avenue.

Bridgeview is located at 414433N, 874824W (41.742432, -87.806789)GR1.
