The City of Berwyn has a long history, originally formed from three communities, LaVergne, Upsala, and Berwyn, dating back to 1856 when Thomas Baldwin developed the area with extensive landscaping and infrastructure. The city’s development was shaped by the arrival of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad in the 1860s, which helped establish Berwyn as a commuter community. Today, the city continues to serve its residents through various commissions, including the Fire and Police Commission, which oversees appointments, promotions, and discipline for sworn personnel.
