Bridgeview, Illinois, got its name due to its proximity to several bridges that crossed the nearby waterways, particularly the Des Plaines River. The area was initially known for its strategic location and transportation routes, which included railroads and roads. The name reflects the community's historical significance as a transportation hub. Established as a village in the early 1960s, it adopted the name Bridgeview to highlight this aspect of its geography.
