The text of the mural reads:
History of Bolingbrook - a place to grow
The modern Village of Bolingbrook got its start in the early 1960's
when the first builder laid out housing in the farm fields just
north of old U.S. 66 and Route 53. The three original home tracts -
sold from 1961 to 1965 under the names Westbury, Colonial Village,
and King's Park, were all part of the original Bolingbrook
Subdivision. The village has grown today to 23,000 homes and 71,000
residents.
The accompanying panel depicts a "rustic" Bolingbrook with
contemporary landmarks such as Interstate 355.
