Wheaton<\/h1>\r\n

Incorporated in 1859, Wheaton serves as the County Seat of DuPage County and is located just 25 miles west of the City of Chicago. Wheaton has repeatedly been recognized by Money Magazine as one of the best cities in all of Illinois to live.\u00a0 Top ranking schools, beautiful parks, and unique shops and restaurants add to Wheaton\u2019s charm.<\/p>\r\n
