New Lenox is located approximately 36 miles southwest of downtown Chicago. The Village is about 14 square miles in area and is located in the center of New Lenox Township in the east central portion of Will County. The City of Joliet borders immediately to the west with the remainder of the Village surrounded by unincorporated Will County. Other nearby communities include Mokena and Frankfort to the east and Manhattan to the south.

The Village of New Lenox wasn't officially created until October 4, 1946. In 1945 and 46 community leaders, F. Carlton Cole, Walter Baers and others reasoned that the community should be incorporated. Recognizing the benefits and the potential growth of the area, a community vote in the spring of 1946 resulted in the authorization for the creation of the Village of New Lenox. On October 4, 1946, the State of Illinois officially certified that the Village of New Lenox was legally organized and incorporated as a Village in the State of Illinois.
