The Village of Carpentersville is located in the heart of the picturesque Fox River Valley in Kane County, Illinois, a short 35 miles northwest of the City of Chicago.
Carpentersville was first settled by Charles Valentine Carpenter and his brother, Daniel.
They ended up staying in the area to settle what was then called Carpenters' Grove.
In 1851, the Village was renamed Carpentersville.
Today, Carpentersville is the largest community in Dundee Township and the Cardunal Area.
Carpentersville operates under the council-manager form of government in which an elected Board, consisting of the President (chief elected official) and six Trustees, appoints a professional manager to oversee the day-to-day operation of government services and programs. The council-manager form of government combines the leadership of elected officials with the experience of a professional manager.
