Carol Stream, Illinois
Carol Stream is a village in DuPage County, Illinois, United States, and a suburb of Chicago.St. Stephen's Cemetery (located north of the Great Western Trail behind the Ozinga concrete plant on St. Charles Road) was rededicated 100 years later on September 12, 2010.[4] Jay W. Stream (April 17, 1921 – January 22, 2006), a military veteran who had previously sold insurance and ready-mix concrete, was in the mid-1950s heading Durable Construction Company.He became frustrated with red tape while negotiating a planned 350–400 home subdivision in nearby Naperville, Illinois.While attempting to cross U.S. Route 45 in central Kenosha County, the car was struck in the right rear corner, killing 15-year-old Richard Christie of Chicago, the passenger seated there.On advice of the doctors that her recovery might improve with good news, Jay decided to name the new community in her honor.Learning that the new village bore her full name, Carol said she thought it "odd and silly" at first (as she told Chicago Tribune reporter Eric Zorn in 1991).She never lived in her namesake community, but moved from Wheaton, Illinois, to Arizona in 1957 following the end of her parents' marriage.The United States Postal Service's Sectional Hub for ZIP Codes with the prefixes 601 and 603 is located in this town.[16] The library features conference rooms, a create and learn center, vending cafe and an outdoor patio with a gazebo.Carol Stream is governed by a body known as the Legislative Board, which is composed of seven elected officials: a mayor and six trustees.Schmale Road serves a small commercial area on the southeastern side of Carol Stream.A feeder line from the nearby Illinois Central Railroad serves the main industrial complex for Carol Stream.
