the Clarendon Hills chamber of commerce

A BRIEF HISTORY

Since 1956, the Clarendon Hills Chamber of Commerce has helped make the village one of Chicagoland’s most desirable suburbs. By supporting local businesses and meeting community needs, the Chamber fosters a thriving and connected business network.

Clarendon Hills’ business district traces its roots to a small General Store near today’s Prospect Avenue, lost to fire in 1892. The district’s first lasting building, constructed in 1911, housed the Post Office and General Store. Now home to Carpet Showcase, it stands as a symbol of the steady growth along Prospect Avenue that shaped today’s vibrant shopping area.

The Chamber connects residents and visitors to local businesses and events. Its website’s Member Business Directory makes exploring and supporting the community simple and convenient.

daisies – A Trademark Of Clarendon Hills

The daisy became Clarendon Hills’ symbol by chance. Local resident Henry Middaugh once ordered grass seed for his grazing livestock but accidentally received daisy seed instead. To his surprise, his fields bloomed with vibrant daisies, captivating train passengers who nicknamed the area “Daisy Fields.” The name stuck, and the daisy remains a cheerful emblem of Clarendon Hills to this day.
