Through most of the 20th century, Naperville was a rural community, and it wasn’t until the 1960s that it encountered a population explosion leading to growing corporations, which lead to jobs and wealth. Also, the construction of the Ronald Reagan Memorial Tollway and the North-South Tollway made this city accessible,
