Lisle

Town in northeastern Illinois, on the East Branch of the Du Page River, 35 km/22 mi west of Chicago; population (1990) 19,500. Largely residential, it experienced substantial light industrial and commercial development during the 1980s, especially along the Illinois Research and Development Corridor.

Settled around 1830, Lisle served as a stopping point on the road between Chicago and Aurora. Illinois Benedictine College (1887) is here. Lisle is also the site of the Morton Arboretum (1922).
