Palos Heights

Few cities in Illinois have a history as closely tied to the Dutch Reformed settlement of the Palos area as Palos Heights. This southwest suburb of Chicago grew from a farming community shaped by Dutch immigrant families and was incorporated in 1934. The Cal-Sag Channel runs along its northern side, with the broad Palos forest preserves close by. Lake Katherine Nature Center and Botanic Gardens adds trails, gardens and wetlands to the city’s setting. Trinity Christian College, founded in 1959, remains an important local link to the area’s Reformed Christian tradition.
