Oak Park

Inspired by the stately trees that give Oak Park its name, with notes of oak, moss, and patchouli. Located west of Chicago, Oak Park was named for its impressive oak trees. The area was settled in 1835 by Joseph and Betty Kettlestrings, whose bed and breakfast attracted other settlers passing through the area. Widely known as the "World's Largest Village," Oak Park is the birthplace of Ernest Hemingway and Betty White and the location of Frank Lloyd Wright's first home and studio. Today, residents take pride in their village’s rich literary and architectural heritage combined with its active arts community.  Source: The Historical Society of Oak Park & River Forest.
