Tinley Park is WGN Radio's next feature on Thursday, March 30. With a foothold in both Cook and Will counties, Tinley Park is about 25 miles southwest of the Loop. Original inhabitants were primarily of the Potawatomi tribe. Land lured early settlers, who arrived as early as the 1830s from the eastern United States and were primarily German. They called their village, established in 1853, Bremen (sometimes seen as New Bremen), named after the German port of the same name where many departed from.
