Fact text
- Westchester's Wolf Road Prairie is the largest black-soil prairie remnant east of the Mississippi River, tucked inside a Chicago suburb.
- The village's street names are almost all English because a developer literally designed it to feel like an English town back in the 1920s.
- Westchester once had its own rapid transit line connecting it to Chicago, the tracks were ripped out in 1951, and the city's been debating bringing them back ever since.
