Hickory Hills History
Hickory Hills was originally known as North Palos. It had a substantial population of Native Americans before the arrival of European settlers. Growth was slow in the initial years because farming was difficult on the hills of the area. The area started developing after World War II when cheap dwelling units were built along the southern edges of Hickory Hills. It was officially incorporated in 1951, and achieved cityhood in 1966. The name Hickory Hills was chosen because of the rolling hills that dominate the area, along with stands of Hickory trees.
