When DuPage voted for Goldwater in 1964 (a year when most suburban counties went for LBJ, btw, including those with Republican majorities in registration), it was largely a mixture of estates for CEOs and "old money", along with many farms in the western and southern end of the county. Those days are long gone, as folks who moved from Chicago over the years brought their politics with them. The secularization of the white population outside of rural areas and the South is also a factor, though not as much as the former.
