The Village of Long Grove is unique.  In an era of unprecedented, unfettered development, Long Grove has managed to retain much of the pristine rural charm, the large open green spaces and the extensive natural groves of trees which have hallmarked the community since its inception.  This has not occurred by coincidence but through thoughtful design.

Since its incorporation in 1956, the residents of Long Grove have diligently worked to develop and vigorously supported a comprehensive plan which seeks to ensure that the semi-rural atmosphere of the community is maintained while simultaneously permitting a wide variety of quality of development in character with the existing motif of the community.
