West Chicago is a city in DuPage County, Illinois, United States. The population was 23,469 at the 2000 census. Formerly named Turner Junction after its founder, John B. Turner, president of the G&CU In 1855. The town was initially established around the first junction of railroad lines in Illinois, and today is still served by the Union Pacific/West Metra service via West Chicago station.

In the 1990's the city received a scare due to the Kerr-McGee chemical waste dumping scandal. It was feared potentially harmful waste was dumped near West Chicago's Reed-Keppler Park. Kerr-McGee was found guilty and settled with the city, cleaning up the waste.

The city has undergone a massive face-lift since 2001, especially in the downtown area, the corner of Route 59 and Main Street, and Route 59 and North Ave. West Chicago Police have the second largest Gang Task Force in Dupage county, next to Aurora.
