About BARTLETT, IL
Bartlett is a village located in both Cook County and DuPage County, Illinois. A very small parcel on the western border is in Kane County. The population was 36,706 at the 2000 census. A 2002 recount gave the village a population of 37,304. In 2007 another recount gives the village a population of 41,500. The community now known as the Village of Bartlett was named after founder Luther Bartlett who offered land to the railroad.
The Village was incorporated in 1891. (The original Minutes’ books and Ordinances are on file in the Village Clerk’s office.) The Village’s first President was George Struckman, who served until 1899 and again from 1901 - 1911.
Bartlett’s population has grown from 360 in 1900, to 3501 in 1970, to 36,706 in 2000. We have grown from a forty acre town site to an area covering nearly 16 square miles with over 100 miles of streets. The Village now lies in Cook, DuPage, and Kane Counties.
Bartlett’s future is one of continued, and controlled, well-planned growth. This growth includes an active program designed to attract business and industry to Bartlett, primarily along the western edge of the Village, and to expand the commercial and industrial tax base. Our projected population for the year 2020 is 47,500.
