History

Stern Pinball is the world's last manufacturer of coin-operated pinball machines.

According to the Encyclopedia of Chicago, in 1882 residents in the what was then unincorporated Proviso Township voted to establish their own municipality, and population in the area began to steadily increase. The wooded area on both sides of Silver Creek, between Broadway and 17th along North Avenue, was almost completely dug up, the grass replaced, and wood chips were added along the bases of the remaining trees. During the late 1990's, in an effort to attract more commerce, the village overwent a large cosmetic change, beginning with the redesigning of all village street signs. Former police chief Vito Scavo was indicted on federal racketeering charges after a lengthy investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Carmel, and Stern (gaming company) Pinball, Inc.
