Village of Hinckley
Hinckley possesses a rich and proud history stemming from the 1830s. Founded in the 1870s by Francis Hinckley, president of the Chicago & Iowa Railroad, a railway line was put down and the village boomed. Hinckley also has the distinction of being the location of the very first Harlem Globetrotters away game in 1927! Three miles west of Hinckley is the privately owned Hinckley Airport, home to Windy City Soaring, an aviation club.
Visitors come from miles and stop in Hinckley to grab a bite at the fun diner Dairy Joy.
