The story so far
from Wikipedia & the U.S. CensusProviso Township is one of 29 townships in Cook County, Illinois, United States. As of the 2020 census, its population was 151,209. It was organized in 1850 and originally named "Taylor", but shortly afterward its name was changed to make reference to the Wilmot Proviso, a contemporary piece of legislation intended to stop the spread of slavery. The Proviso Township government office is located at 4565 West Harrison Street, Hillside, IL 60162.
Its population held steady between the last two censuses: 151,704 people in 2010, 151,209 in 2020. Half of its homes were built before 1955.
