Wilmette incorporated as a village on September 19, 1872, and the neighboring Village of Gross Point stayed separate until it was annexed in the mid-1920s after going bankrupt. ## What Wilmette does to a home appliance. A 1924 apartment building, Linden Crest, sparked a "No Flats" campaign that limited apartment construction in the village for decades afterward, pushing its housing stock toward single-family homes. Ranch-style and split-level houses replaced farmland west of Ridge Road in the 1950s, part of a population surge from 18,162 residents in 1950 to 28,268 by 1960. Two historic districts, Oak Circle and Ouilmette North, are listed on the National Register, preserving the village's earlier building stock along its Lake Michigan waterfront.
