Building on 100 Years of Vital Human Services!
River Forest Township is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year! Our Township funds and supports necessary human services to River Forest seniors, youth, and residents with mental health needs. The Assessor’s office, providing advocacy and information to taxpayers, is also an integral part of our Township.
In April 1917, River Forest (population 3000) voted by referendum to create its own township, thereby separating from Proviso Township. The RF Village Board passed the necessary resolution in June, and the Cook County Board formally approved the new River Forest Township in October 1917.
Watch for news & events in 2017 as we build on 100 years of vital human services!

Townships are units of government independent of village governments.
Townships focus on human services, while villages deliver municipal service such as police, fire, parking and streets. |
