Tinley Park is a village in Cook County, Illinois. White American settlers began to arrive in the 1820s, and German settlers became predominant in the area during the 1840s, naming their town "Bremen". Soon, Irish, English, Scottish, Canadian, and other American settlers began arriving, and the rapid expansion of the railroads in the late 19th century led to the town being renamed to "Tinley Park" in honor of railroad agent Samuel Tinley Sr.. In 2018, Tinley Park had a population of 56,204 people.
