Despite boasting a population of nearly 25,000, Westmont is a surprisingly tight-knit community. Located 18 miles from the Chicago Loop, the village is often referred to as “Whiskey Hill.” Originally inhabited by Native Americans until the 1830s, Westmont was officially incorporated in 1921.
Westmont’s future was set in stone following the completion of the Chicago-Aurora branch of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad. Completed in 1864, the branch saw many faces passing through each day.
Fun fact: Muddy Waters, widely considered the father of modern Chicago blues, lived in Westmont for a decade before his death in 1983 at the age of 70. His influence on everything from rock and roll to jazz to country music can still be heard today.
Despite its status as a village, Westmont is home to a lively night life. Premier restaurants, like the Tap House Grill, offers food and drinks with plenty of TVs to help patrons keep track of their favorite sports teams. Customers give high regards to the restaurant in reviews and by continuing to eat their time and time again.
Grabbing a unique drink is best done at the Myths and Legends Brewing Company. Located in an industrial park, the brewery features microbrews, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere.
We at Valley Honda couldn’t be prouder to serve the Westmont community!
