Leyden is a village located in Cook County, Illinois. As of the 2020 census, the population was 2,035. Leyden was first settled in the 1830s by German immigrants and was incorporated as a village in 1956.

History

The village of Leyden gets its name from Leiden, Netherlands. Many of the early German settlers came from the Leiden area. The first permanent resident was Frederick Teninga who built a cabin in 1833. More German settlers followed and began farming the area. In the late 1800s, railroad construction brought more growth and population to Leyden.

On April 4, 1956, Leyden officially incorporated as a village with Fred Brust as the first village president. Over the years, Leyden has maintained its small town charm and German heritage even as suburbs around it continued growing. Historic buildings like the Leyden High School still stand today as landmarks of the past.
