   Location of Boulder Hill (CDP) within Illinois
|
|
Boulder Hill is a census-designated place (CDP) in Oswego Township, Kendall County, Illinois, United States. The population was 8,108 at the 2010 census.
Boulder Hill is located at 41°42′41″N 88°20′07″W / 41.71139°N 88.33528°W (41.7113530, -88.3351400).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 1.45 square miles (3.8 km2), of which, 1.44 square miles (3.7 km2) or 99% of it is land and 0.01 square miles (0.026 km2) or 1% of it is water. Up until the early 2000s, the Boulder Hill subdivision had a small development area, equating to almost a town square of sorts. The community itself has a strong identity, as the people from the subdivision are not classified as being from Montgomery or Oswego, but instead, they are known to be from Boulder Hill.
Postal service is provided to Boulder Hill via the Montgomery Post Office. So while Boulder Hill is unincorporated and not part of the village of Montgomery, there is some confusion because Boulder Hill residents' mailing addresses include "Montgomery" as part of their address simply because their mail goes through that post office. Governmental services provided to Boulder Hill primarily come from either Kendall County or Oswego Township offices.
The community has four churches, a grocery store, a small retail development, a gas station, three schools (two elementary and a middle school), a retirement facility, and the area used to have an automotive dealership. There's not much vacant land left for development. The villages of Oswego and Montgomery have both expanded their communities right up to the boundaries of Boulder Hill, so there's no room for future business expansion. Other than the Boulder Hill Market, most of the commercial business located in Boulder Hill are actually part of the village of Oswego.
