Oswego,Illinois  

The Village of Oswego, Illinois is located 50 miles southwest of Chicago, Oswego is well situated at the southern end of the Fox River Valley in Kendall County, Illinois. Oswego offered an easy crossing over the Fox River near a ford near the mouth of Waubonsee Creek and the first permanent European settlers arrived in the Oswego area in 1833. The Village was platted in 1835 and incorporated in 1852. Oswego is a Mohawk Indian word meaning "mouth of the stream."  

The community is striving to keep its small town character and it remains a great place to raise a family. Many new residents cite our quality schools as the reason they moved to Oswego. Community Unit District 308 has an excellent reputation in the Chicagoland area and has maintained its high standards, even as enrollment has increased. For example, the school district has an excellent math program, as shown by consistently high scores on the Illinois Goal Assessment Test.

Oswego is served by the Rush-Copley Medical Center, a 142-bed academic community hospital that offers a cancer center, heart institute, physical rehabilitation center and state-of-the-art fitness facility. In addition, Provena-Mercy Center Hospital and Edward Hospital are within twenty minutes of Oswego.

A new aquatic center, bike trails, and hundreds of acres of parks provide Oswego area residents with clean and safe recreation. Festivals, such as the annual PrairieFest, provide seasonal entertainment for the whole family.  

Oswego is home to the Fox Bend Golf Course, rated as one of the top twenty public courses in the Chicagoland area. The Illinois Open was held at Fox Bend in 1997 and in 1999.
