Green Oaks sits in Libertyville Township, Lake County, along the Tri-State Tollway — a wooded, large-lot community whose roots trace back to Irish immigrants who began settling the area in the 1840s, including early landowner Thomas Madden, who arrived in 1844 and later donated the land for the community’s first school in 1850. The village itself is newer: it incorporated in 1960 under the name Green Oaks, having previously gone by “Oak Grove.” From a founding celebration attended by about 150 residents, the village grew rapidly, expanding roughly tenfold in population between 1960 and 1985 as Chicago’s suburbs pushed outward. Today it’s home to 4,128 residents as of the 2020 Census, per the village’s own history page.

The Village That Drew a Line
Forest-green shield with a gold oak leaf — for the village incorporated specifically to hold its ground against sprawl.
The Village That Drew a Line, Not the One That Got Built On
Most of the suburbs we serve grew because someone wanted to build there. Green Oaks incorporated in 1960 largely to stop that from happening. Village leaders described the move as a “municipal barrier to intense urban and industrial expansion” pressing in from neighboring areas, and the village’s first Board president, William D. Shaw, is on record declaring the community would not become a “shanty town” but would instead aim to be “a community of high merit.” The zoning that followed — one, two, and five-acre residential lots, with strict protection for environmentally sensitive land — is why Green Oaks still reads as densely wooded and spread out today, even sitting minutes from a major tollway interchange.
It’s an unusual origin story: a village founded not around a landmark or a namesake, but around a deliberate choice about what not to allow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it true Green Oaks incorporated specifically to stop suburban sprawl?
Yes — when the village incorporated in 1960, its leaders described it as a “municipal barrier” against urban and industrial expansion from neighboring areas, and adopted large-lot zoning (one to five acres) that still shapes the village’s wooded, spread-out character today.
Does the $60 rate change depending on where in Green Oaks I’m picked up?
No — $60 is the flat sedan rate for any pickup within Green Oaks village limits, regardless of the exact address. It does change if you choose an SUV, minivan, or black car instead of a sedan.
Is Green Oaks really only 25 miles from O’Hare?
Yes — thanks to its location right along the Tri-State Tollway, Green Oaks has one of the shorter, more predictable published routes to O’Hare on our service map, at roughly 25 miles and 26 minutes under typical conditions.
Can I book a car seat for a flight out of Green Oaks?
Yes, for $10 extra, though availability is limited — reserve it when you book rather than asking last minute.
Do you also serve Libertyville, Lincolnshire, or Vernon Hills?
Yes — we run flat-rate service across this part of Lake County, including Libertyville, Lincolnshire, Mettawa, Vernon Hills, and Third Lake, each priced separately from Green Oaks.
