Schaumburg, IL, was originally known as Sarah's Grove. This name was derived from a grove of woods that ran through the northwest portion of the Schaumburg Township, which was named for three young women whose families lived adjacent to the grove: Sarah McChesney, Sarah Frisbe, and Sarah Smith. Until 1851, the area's official name was Township 41. At the 1850 Township meeting, citizens discussed two names for the Township: Lutherville and Lutherburg. In the middle of the discussion, Friedrich Heinrich Nerge, a prominent German landowner, put his fist down on the table and called out, "Schaumburg schall et heiten!" (It will be called Schaumburg!). With this statement, a consensus was reached on the Township's official name. (This chosen name derived from Schaumburg County [Grafschaft Schaumburg], the part of Germany where many of the Township's citizens had originally lived.)
Woodfield Mall opened on September 9, 1971, with 59 stores, growing to 189 stores with 1.9 million retail square feet by 1973, the largest mall in the United States at that time. It is currently the largest mall in the Chicago area, with over 285 stores and restaurants, including Pizzeria Uno, Rainforest Cafe, and The Cheesecake Factory. In the year 2000, Chicago's visitors even voted Woodfield Mall as their favorite suburban attraction.
Woodfield is named for former Sears board chairman General Robert E. Wood and Marshall Field and Company founder Marshall Field. It was built on 191 acres that was previously occupied by farms, cows, and a village tavern.
It is currently the fifth largest shopping mall in the United States. The mall is the most visited tourist destination in the Chicago metropolitan area, and it is the most popular tourist destination in Illinois, with 27 million visitors annually.

Through the inspiration of IKEA, we too can fix global warming, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and peace in the Middle East, simply through the use of patience, teamwork for heavy lifting, and a small Allen wrench.
