Stone Park is a village in Cook County, 13 miles W of the Loop. The population was 5,127 at the 2000 census. One of the smallest and poorest of Chicago's suburbs, Stone Park also has one of the most distinctive histories. It boasted a population of 636 and an area of 0.4 square miles when incorporated in 1939. Stone Park grew rapidly during the 1950s and 1960s, reaching a population of 4,429 by 1970 and growing to 5,127 by 2000. In 1987 it ranked 258th in per capita income out of 262 communities in the six-county Chicago area.

Since the 1960s Stone Park has transcended its gangland image. Like other interwar suburbs, including adjacent Melrose Park, it has become a destination for a new generation of immigrant workers looking for inexpensive housing. Modest homes have been well-maintained, improved, and extended. While the district was once home to many Italians, and remained the site of the Italian Cultural Center, 79 percent of the population was Hispanic in 2000.
