Hoffman Estates is a northwestern suburb
of Chicago
in Illinois
. The village is located primarily in Cook County
with a small section in Kane County, Illinois
. As of the 2000 census, the village population was 49,495 and estimated to be 52,520 in 2003. The village was incorporated in 1959 http://www.hoffmanestates.com/police/history.shtml.
The village now serves as the headquarters location for the Sears Holdings Corporation
, the midwest headquarters for AT&T
and the American headquarters for Mori Seiki
. It owns the Sears Centre
Arena, home site of the Chicago Express
of the ECHL
ice hockey
league, the Chicago Slaughter of the Indoor Football League
and the Chicago Bliss
of the Lingerie Football League
. In 2009, the village hosted the Heartland International Tattoo
, one of the largest music and dance festivals of its kind in the Midwest.
In 1958, the Northwest Tollway opened, making the village more attractive to Chicago commuters. Beginning in 1961, the first land north of the tollway was annexed to the Village of Hoffman Estates. Some 2000 acres (8.1 km²) were annexed by 1962, including the areas that are now Winston Knolls, Westbury and the Paul Douglas Forest Preserve. The annexations more than doubled the incorporated land area.
The opening of the Woodfield Mall
to the east in 1971, made the area a major business center. An attempt to change the name of the city, this time to East Barrington, was made in the early 1980s but failed upon a residential vote.
In the 1990s, the Prairie Stone Business Park began development. This expansive 780 acres (3.2 km²) master planned multi-purpose business park is bounded by Illinois Route 59
on the east, Interstate 90
on the south, Illinois Route 72
on the north, and Beverly Road on the west. The business park came to fruition in 1993 when Sears, Roebuck and Company
relocated from the Sears Tower
in Chicago
to a sprawling headquarters in the northwest part of Prairie Stone. That was followed in 1995 by Indramat
and Quest International
opening facilities in the park. Throughout the 1990s, a health & wellness center and child care facility were developed as well as other smaller office buildings and a branch of Northern Illinois University
. Development of the business park is still ongoing, and recent additions in the 2000s include the 11,000-seat Sears Centre
arena, office buildings for Serta
, WT Engineering, I-CAR, and Mary Kay
, Cabela's
outdoor outfitters store, a 295-room Marriott
hotel, and the 400000 square feet (37,161.2 m²) Poplar Creek Crossing Retail Center, which is anchored by Target
and numerous other big-box retailers. Future development will include further office buildings and retail development, Sun Island Hotel and Water Park, an amphitheater, restaurants, and a Metra

History
Hoffman Estates turned into a major subdivision with Centex Corporation mass-producing houses on adjacent lots, rather than custom-building them on scattered lots. Some of the lots west of Roselle Road had been built on soft earth, marsh, and peat bogs; by the late 1960s, a few foundations had begun to crumble.In 1958, the Northwest Tollway opened, making the village more attractive to Chicago commuters. Beginning in 1961, the first land north of the tollway was annexed to the Village of Hoffman Estates. Some 2000 acres (8.1 km²) were annexed by 1962, including the areas that are now Winston Knolls, Westbury and the Paul Douglas Forest Preserve. The annexations more than doubled the incorporated land area.
