Kohl’s Schaumburg, Part of a History of Progress

The village of Schaumburg very much lives up to its moto, “Progress Through Thoughtful Planning.” The first settlers in the Schaumburg area started arriving in the 1850s and came either from the eastern United States or emigrated from Germany. Many of the German settlers originally hailed from the Principality of Schaumburg-Lippe, hence the village’s name. Not connected to any major through roads or rail lines, Schaumburg remained a somewhat small agricultural center for many years. This relative isolation lasted up until the construction of the Jane Adams Memorial Tollway (Interstate 90) and O’Hare International Airport in the 1950s.

Within a matter of years, Schaumburg began to become a hub for commerce, industry and retail. The arrival of Interstate 294, also known as the Dwight D. Eisenhower Expressway or “The Ike,” only added to the village’s attractiveness. Today Schaumburg is home to the likes of IKEA, Zurich North America, Motorola and IBM.
