The Village of Oak Brook is located about 15 miles west of the Chicago Loop and is served by a network of major federal, state, and county roads including the Tri-State Tollway, the East-West Tollway, and the Eisenhower Expressway. Oak Brook was originally knows as Fullersburg, named after Ben Fuller, an early settler. Oak Brook was incorporated as a village in 1958, due in large part to the efforts of Paul Butler, a prominent civic leader and landowner whose father had first moved to the vicinity in 1898 and opened a dairy farm shortly thereafter. Prior to incorporation, the name Oak Brook was used by local residents to distinguish their community from neighboring towns.The Village is also host to the Oak Brook Polo Club and is home to the Oak Brook Shopping Center.
