Lemont is a village in Cook, DuPage, and Will counties in Illinois and a suburb of Chicago. The population is estimated at 16,000. Lemont is home to Argonne National Laboratory and other heavy industrial sites, and has a substantial European immigrant population. Lemont's first settlers arrived in 1833. The town, then called Athens, began its development along the site of the Illinois & Michigan Canal that flows through the town. By 1848, the canal was completed and Lemont's population reached 3,000 people. In the 1890s, construction began on the Sanitary & Ship Canal. Lemont became a "wide open" town in those years to accommodate a population of 10,000 people. The 20th century brought industrialization with growth of steel, chemical and oil companies, and newer high tech complexes including Argonne National Laboratory and the Village has since grown into what it is today.

Vacant Property Registration
On August 23, 2010 the Village Board approved an ordinance requiring property owners to register vacant properties with the Village of Lemont. Property inspections are required prior to occupancy for homes which have been vacant for three months or longer. The purpose of the ordinance is to protect the public's health, safety and welfare by: • Establishing a program for identification, registration, and maintenance of buildings which are (or become) vacant on and after the effective date of the ordinance
• Determine the responsibilities of the owners of record of vacant buildings.
• Provide for administration, enforcement (including the abatement of public nuisances), and imposition of penalties.
