About the Schaumburg, Illinois Area  

The Village of Schaumburg is a township located in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago. Living in Schaumburg is a rare opportunity to enjoy the tranquil sense of community in a small town environment while neighboring the big city for quick access to Chicago.  

The first to call Schaumburg home were the Sauk, Fox, Pottawatomie, and Kickapoo Indian tribes. The first recorded settler was a German named Johann Sunderlage who assisted in dividing Cook County into townships and settled with his family, ultimately purchasing the land. At this time, a majority of the settlers were from the eastern United States or Germany. Eventually, all the land became German-owned until The Great Depression when the foreclosed land was bought by non-German individuals and companies. However, German language and influence crafted the Village of Schaumburg.  

As Schaumburg continued to grow, so did the expansion of O’Hara Field by building a major airport and Northwest Tollway in the mid 1950s. Schaumburg’s convenient location stimulated a suburban growth, and the village was incorporated on March 7, 1956 with 130 residents.  

Schaumburg has grown from rural land to a luxurious community, offering business and community centers, stores, and amenities. As of 2000, Schaumburg had a population of 75,386 people. As of 2010, the economic growth continues with business and store openings. It is home to St. Peter Lutheran Church, the community’s oldest church constructed in 1847.
