Burbank, Illinois, located in Cook County, is a city with a rich history and a population of 29,439 as of the 2020 census. Nestled on the southwest edge of Chicago, Burbank shares its eastern city limit with Chicago's Ashburn neighborhood and is bordered by Oak Lawn, Bridgeview, Bedford Park, and Hometown. Notably, Burbank is conveniently situated less than two miles south of Chicago Midway International Airport, making it an accessible location for both residents and visitors.
The city's journey began in 1850 as part of Lyons Township, remaining largely undeveloped and agrarian for a century. It wasn't until the 1920s that Burbank saw significant development, spurred by real estate developers. However, challenges like the Great Depression slowed its growth. Incorporation as a city in 1970, partly to avoid annexation by Chicago, marked a turning point. Burbank stands as a testament to suburban development and growth. Complementing its residential and community-focused lifestyle, Burbank is served by various med spas that cater to the health and beauty needs of its residents, offering a range of services for wellness and rejuvenation.
