History
The Hickory Hills Country Club was founded in 1917 in the area of the present-day city, with an 18-hole golf course designed by Scottish-American golfer James Foulis. The club exists to the present day.
The village of Hickory Hills was incorporated in September 1951 from the territory between 91st to 95th street, and between 80th to 88th avenue. The village at the time of incorporation had around 600 residents. Voters approved a change from village to city form of government in October 1966.
In 1961, the Poor Clares nuns, a branch of the Franciscan order, acquired 20 acres of land at 89th street and Keane avenue with which to establish a new monastery. However, the monastery closed in 1992 due to dwindling numbers. The order returned to Chicago in 1999, moving to a new monastery in nearby Palos Park in 2003.
