Bloomingdale Township 's history traces back to mid-1800's. When Cook County was created by the Illinois legislature in 1831, Bloomingdale, along with eight other townships, formed the south-western section of the county. Those same townships were subsequently organized into DuPage County . On November 6, 1849, Bloomingdale Township of DuPage County was officially organized. The first town meeting was held on Tuesday, April 1, 1850 in the Baptist Church building at Second and Franklin Streets in Bloomingdale. The elected officials were the Township Supervisor, Town Clerk, two Justices of the Peace, two Constables and two Commissioners of highways. The major occupation in the area was agriculture. In the year 1850, Bloomingdale Township recorded a population of 895 persons. Today, the figure surpasses 111,000. The boundaries are the same as when the township was platted in 1839.
