According to Oak Park tutors Oak Park really didn’t see any substantial development until after WWII was over. The township went from zero to sixty and soon earned the title “America’s Fastest Growing City”, as development took off quickly following the war, and began to soar in the late 1950s.
The catalyst for Oak Park’s sudden growth spurt was a bill passed and signed into law on June 22nd 1944 by President Roosevelt; it was known as the G.I. Bill. This bill changed lives as it allocated millions of dollars into the pockets of those who had served their country loyally in the Second World War. All veterans were eligible to benefit from hefty government subsidies except for those who were dishonorably discharged. According to Oak Park tutors, if you had been on ‘active duty’ for a minimum of ninety days you would be entitled to the benefits. They included assistance with furthering education, (including funding for classes, text books and accommodations) help with low cost mortgages so that new homes could be bought and low interest loans so that new businesses could be funded.
The “American Legion,” an organization that was originally formed in Paris by three officers of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF), directly following the First World War, pushed the G.I. Bill also known as “The Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944,” through Congress. Oak Park tutors reference the significant amount of uproar from War I veterans when their post war “cash bonus” was postponed following their service, and the American Legion was quick to ensure the same fate did not become the servicemen who fought in WWII. When the servicemen returned from WWI many found themselves unemployed, integrating back into their previous roles was exacerbated due to the Great Depression. The government, in financial dire straits, failed these men by enforcing the “World War Adjusted Compensation Act” which essentially gave them bonds that they could not redeem until 1945. These men had no option but to band together and demand money there and then. They would starve if they had to wait over a decade to receive the monies they needed to assimilate back into living in their ‘old’ neighborhoods. The “Bonus Army” was the term coined by the media for the disgruntled veterans who marched in 1932 in Washington D.C. after feeling cheated and helpless.
In Oak Park the injection of funds into the community following the G.I. Bill led to exponential growth. The population of the town multiplied by seven, growing from a rather humble 5000 to over 35000 in a short ten years.
