Burr Ridge (formerly Harvester) is a village in Cook and DuPage counties in the U.S. state of Illinois.

Burr Ridge's gently rolling hills were carved by glaciers at the end of the last ice age, and most of the village lies on the Valparaiso Moraine.

In 1917, the International Harvester Company purchased 414 acres (1.7 km2) for an experimental farm, where it tested the world's first all-purpose tractor, the Farmall.

In the 1940s, Denver Busby bought 190 acres (0.8 km2) that became known as the Burr Ridge dairy farm.

In 1969, Chicago mayor Richard J. Daley suggested a proposal to build low-income subsidized housing on the prison farm property, but Republican-dominated DuPage County quashed the idea.

The prison farm site became the Ambriance subdivision, a gated community of multimillion-dollar homes.

The Four Pines Farm gave way to the Carriage Way subdivision, at whose entrance the original farmhouse still stands,[6] and in 1971 additional farmland became the Braemoor neighborhood.

As with other towns in the industrial corridor southwest of Chicago, close proximity to Interstates 294 and 55 spurred development in Burr Ridge.

Pace provides bus service from the Burr Ridge Park-n-Ride via Routes 850 and 855 which travel on I-55 from Plainfield to Chicago.
