Franklin Park: Defined by Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Franklin Park is a village in the Chicagoland area, near O'Hare International Airport, defined by its relationships with planes, trains and automobiles.

Incorporated in 1892, the town is steeped in train culture; it's served by three Metra stations, has a large train yard, and celebrates its history with a train museum and annual Railroad Daze festival, which includes unique train displays, a wide variety of food vendors, a carnival, mini-train rides, a model train display and live music. Franklin Park boasts a burgeoning suburban downtown, a large Hispanic population, and many community gathering places.

 Chicago's O'Hare International Airport is a global leader in the movement of freight, mail, and goods. The airport consistently ranks in the top 10 in North America and the top 25 in the world in terms of its annual air cargo volume, in excess of one million tons. O'Hare air cargo is among the nation's and the region's most valuable imports and exports, representing billions of dollars in annual trade, from electronics and machinery to fine clothing and medicines. These goods can reach over 200 cities non-stop throughout the United States and the world on over 30 passenger airlines and over a dozen cargo carriers that serve O'Hare. As a major supply chain hub, freight forwarders, brokers, and corporations enjoy the superior advantages of Chicago's distribution infrastructure, central geography, large economy, and expressway network.

Easy access to O'Hare Airport cargo terminals, railroad freight terminals, major expressways for routing, and spur tracks accessing the rear of buildings have made Franklin Park a desirable place for industry.
