Notes

Historical Note

Schaumburg, Cook, IL in the northwest of the state, became a refuge for German immigrants from the county in Germany where many of the citizens had originally lived. The majority were from Grafschaft Schaumburg which was then part of the state of Hesse-Kassel. Immigration spanning more than ninety years changed the makeup of the township. As an example, in 1840, 56% of the households were made up of citizens from the eastern United States and 28% were German born. By the 1850s, the population mix had settled to 28% "Yankee" and 48% German. By 1870, Schaumburg had become completely German.
