Life in Schaumburg

Schaumburg, Illinois is a village in Cook County. It is less than 30 miles northwest of Chicago, and has a population of about 75,000 people.

By the mid-19th Century, the area now known as Schaumburg, Illinois had been permanently settled, mostly by immigrants from Germany. The city takes its name from Schaumburg, a city in Lower Saxony, Germany, where many of the German immigrants came from. Thanks to this strong influence early in its history, the city's German character is still visible, in its architecture, restaurants, and culture.

For nearly a century, the village was somewhat isolated from the rest of Illinois, even from nearby Chicago. Howoever, the post-war building boom, and the near-universal adoption of the automobile by the early 1950s, ended this isolation.

Modernly, the city is an affluent suburb of Chicago, with the median household income being about ,000. Theenormous wealth produced in a city such as Chicago is able to support a surrounding area many times larger than the city itself, which contributes to the high standard of living and income seen in Schaumburg.
