Addison Town Focus
Carefully planned growth has allowed an evolution into a multi-faceted community
By Lynn Petrak
In Addison, you can take a stroll — literally — down Memory Lane in a quiet tree-lined neighborhood.
Or you can enjoy a summer concert — or, for that matter,
check out a book from the
library or settle some village business — in Friendship Plaza.
Such welcoming street names are a
reflection of Addison’s reputation as a congenial community. From its early days in the 1870s as the site of an orphanage and annual orphan festival, to its phase of remarkable growth in the 1950s and 60s, to its current blend of residential life and
commerce, the village (named for 18th century writer Joseph Addison) has changed with the times, yet stayed true to its heritage.
