Matteson is a village in Cook County Illinois and a south suburb of Chicago. The population is estimated at 19,000. Matteson was settled in the late 1800s by primarily people of German Descent. The village was incorporated in 1889, beginning with only 500 residents. Matteson has an area of 9.32 square miles of land and 0.034 square miles of water. The village's namesake is Joel Aldrich Matteson, who served as Illinois' tenth governor from 1853 to 1857. As the village developed, the plumbing, electrification, and Illinois Central Railroad developed as well. By the end of the 1960s the development of the school district resulted in a significant population growth leading into the village we know and love today.
