history
The Burbank area was first settled by farmers in the 1850s when Lyons Township was established there. Burbank was in the southeastern area of the township. In the following decades, mainly German and Dutch farmers settled here. The planned railway connection fell victim to the economic crisis of 1893 .
When Stickney Township was rebuilt from Lyons Township in 1901, Burbank was the southern end of the township. Burbank could not benefit from the suburban boom in the 1920s because the water supply, sewers and roads were inadequate. In addition, the area around Burbank struggled with flooding.
The sewer system and water supply did not improve until the South Stickney Sanitary District was established in the 1950s. The first sewer system was laid in Burbank in 1959. The flood problem was also resolved during these years. In the following years the population could be increased threefold to 20,720 inhabitants.
In 1970, Burbank was the last area to become a separate parish. At the same time, Stickney Township was annexed to Chicago. The name of Burbank is derived from the Luther Burbank Elementary School .
