Forest Park Taxi To O’Hare Airport
Forest Park has been home to Ferrara Pan Candy Company since 1908, filling the air near the Blue Line stop with the smell of Lemonheads and Atomic Fireballs. Getting to O’Hare from here is a lot simpler than a candy recipe: one flat rate, booked in advance.
Airport transportation for a small town with a sweet reputation
The land that became Forest Park changed hands several times in the 19th century — purchased by French trader Leon Bourassa in 1839, expanded by German immigrant Ferdinand Haase, then bought by John Henry Quick, who named the growing settlement “Harlem” after his own hometown. The village incorporated under that name in 1884 before formally reincorporating as Forest Park on April 17, 1907. You can confirm current village details through the Village of Forest Park’s official website.
Today Forest Park is one of only two towns served directly by the Chicago “L” that doesn’t actually border Chicago — the CTA Blue Line’s western terminus sits right here. Its Madison Street corridor is known for antique shops, boutiques, and restaurants, and the village also holds Forest Home Cemetery, home to the Haymarket Martyrs’ Monument, a designated National Historic Landmark.
Whether your pickup is near the Blue Line, Madison Street, or a quiet residential block, the flat rate to O’Hare is $57, with a real person tracking your flight so a delay never turns into a missed pickup.
Local History
In 1908, Italian immigrant Salvatore Ferrara founded what became Ferrara Pan Candy Company in Forest Park — the maker of Lemonhead, Atomic Fireball, Red Hots, and other candies generations of Americans grew up on.
The company’s plant is still recognizable today by its aroma, which drifts out over the CTA’s Harlem Blue Line stop — a small, sweet reminder of what this village is known for.
