Schaumburg is a village mostly in Cook county and partly in DuPage County in northeastern Illinois, United States. The village of Schaumburg was incorporated on March 7, 1956, but the heritage of Schaumburg dates back to much earlier times when the first inhabitants of the area were members of Native American tribes.
Along with Bolingbrook, Schaumburg has one of Illinois’s two IKEA sores. It also contains the Woodfield Mall, which is the 10th largest mall in the world and at most times has more than 300 stores. This mall is also the second most visited tourist attraction in Illinois.
