Crestwood Village is located in Cook County, 7 miles south of downtown Chicago. It is 3.1 square miles. The area was originally part of the marshland of Saganashkee Swamp, which was eventually drained for farm land. Crestwood was incorporated in 1928. 

The population of Crestwood is primarily from German descent, but there are also Polish, Italian, Slovak, and English immigrants. Its most significant time of growth was in the 1960's and 1970's.
