History

New Hope was originally a farming community called Hope in Crystal Lake Township. In 1936, rural residents of the township broke away and formed their own township, choosing the name New Hope. The area, originally part of the Crystal Lake Township, experienced significant growth and development following World War II, transforming the rural farmland into a suburban community. In 1953, the residents of the western part of Crystal Lake Township sought independence and municipal services, leading to New Hope's incorporation as a village. By 1974, New Hope had achieved city status, reflecting its expanding population and urbanization.
