history
Bloomingdale is one of the oldest parishes established in what is now DuPage County. The Meacham family was the first to settle there in 1833. By the following year, around 12 to 15 families had already settled there. The community was on the Chicago-Galena Highway, now called Lake Street. The place became an important stop for stagecoaches and travelers heading west. Originally part of Cook County , it was annexed to DuPage Counte in 1839 and incorporated as a parish a year later. The northern part developed commercially while the southern part remained rural. In order to take this development into account, the districts separated in 1922. The northern part was incorporated into Roselle . Between 1950 and 1980 the population grew from 338 to 12,659 inhabitants.
