Why is Oak Brook called Oak Brook? Is it really named after an actual brook surrounded by oak trees? Well, you’re about to find out. Oak Brook was originally called Fullersburg, after an early settler named Ben Fuller. But as the village began to take shape, residents wanted a name that better reflected their unique community. The name Oak Brook, inspired by the beautiful oak trees that graced the area and a meandering brook, emerged as the clear favorite. Oak Brook was officially incorporated as a village in 1958. Paul Butler, a prominent civic leader, was instrumental in its establishment. This village, a stone’s throw from the bustling heart of Chicago, offers a delightful blend of nature’s tranquility and modern amenities. You see, Oak Brook is a place where lush green spaces seamlessly intertwine with upscale shopping and dining experiences.
