History. Crest Hill was incorporated in 1960. The city's Lidice Memorial page explains its sister-city tie to Lidice, the Czech village destroyed by the Nazis in June 1942: days later, Stern Park developer Dominic Romano renamed the town in Lidice's honor, the first place in the world to do so.

For renters and landlords. Crest Hill runs its own rental registration program, separate from Joliet's: property owners must register all rental units, and the city says rental inspections are required annually by ordinance.
