Midlothian’s story starts at a railroad crossing — and even includes a country club’s own two-mile railway.
According to the Encyclopedia of Chicago, the area that became Midlothian began as a milk stop on the Rock Island railroad called Rexford Crossing. Yankee settlers arrived in the 1830s, followed by German and Irish families, and the stop slowly grew into a community around the tracks.
- 1830sYankee settlers arrive, followed by German and Irish families.
- 1900The Midlothian–Blue Island Railroad is incorporated — a roughly 2.3-mile line built by the Midlothian Country Club, later nicknamed the “shortest railroad in the world.”
- 1915Residential subdivisions begin to take shape; the first elementary school follows in 1919.
- 1927Midlothian is incorporated as a village on March 17.
- 1928The club’s private railway is dismantled.
Midlothian’s own village history ties its name to the Midlothian Country Club, whose name in turn evokes Midlothian, Scotland. Today, the railroad connection is still part of daily life: Metra’s Midlothian station on the Rock Island District sits at 3750 W. 147th Street, and the village has access to both I-57 and the Tri-State Tollway (I-294).
