On February 1st, 1949 the Village of Park Forest was officially incorporated. 60 years later, the vision of pioneers like Philip Klutznick, Nathan Manilow and Carol Sweet have made it possible for over 23,000 people who currently call Park Forest their home and thousands more who once lived in the Village.
