About Northbrook

The population was 35,222 at the 2020 census. It is within Northfield Township, Illinois, bordering Lake County.
When incorporated in 1901, the village was known as Shermerville in honor of Frederick Schermer, who donated the land for its first train station. The village changed its name to Northbrook in 1923 as an effort to improve its public image. The name was chosen because the West Fork of the North Branch of the Chicago River runs through the village.
