Bolingbrook is a relatively new suburb of Chicago, having been incorporated in 1965. The first subdivision in Bolingbrook, known as Westbury, was located immediately west of IL Route 53. Shortly thereafter, a second subdivision, known as Colonial Village was built, located on the far east side of IL Route 53. The village continued to grow solidly for the remainder of the 1960s, reaching a population of 7,000 by 1970. The 1970s were the first period of rapid growth in Bolingbrook, during which its population quintupled to reach over 37,000 by 1980. Much of this growth was as much due to mass annexation as well as raw population growth; the population of Bolingbrook by the 1970 census but with its 1980 land boundary was approximately 25,000, further reflecting the vigorous annexation that took place during the 1970s.
During the 1980s, growth in Bolingbrook and Will County slowed considerably as the focus of Chicago area growth in that decade largely shifted to the northern tier of suburbs in Lake and McHenry counties. By 1990, Bolingbrook's population had only increased by about 10% from the previous decade, to about 41,000. The main benefit of this slower growth is that it allowed the village's infrastructure (especially its school district) to catch up with its population.
The 1990s ushered in a second wave of strong growth to Bolingbrook, as Will and nearby Kendall counties once again became Chicago's fastest growing region. This second growth wave continued until 2007, when the population peaked at over 75,000.
In 2008, Bolingbrook, IL was ranked #32 in Money Magazine's Top 100 Places to live in America.
