history
The area around Northbrook was ceded in 1833 by the Indians of the Potawatomi tribe who had lived there until then . Shortly thereafter, the area was named Shermerville in honor of Frederick Schermer, who made his property available for the first train station. In the 1870s the town was a small farming settlement. It was officially founded in 1901. Due to the prevailing anti-German mood after the First World War , the city was renamed in 1923 in order to get a better image. At that time, Northbrook had 500 residents.
Northbrook grew slowly until World War II . In 1940 the city had 1,265 inhabitants. In the following 20 years the population grew much faster and in 1960 reached the number of 11,635 inhabitants. The city received a second growth spurt in 1963 after a water supply was built from Lake Michigan to the city's water treatment plant . The number of inhabitants doubled to 25,422 in 1970.

Film productions
Northbrook-born director John Hughes (1950–2009) used the fictional city of “Shermer” as the backdrop for several of his films. David Kamp (writer at Vanity Fair ) said that John Hughes' fictional city was partly Northbrook and partly an amalgamation of all the cities and neighborhoods on the North Shore, and so all the different milieus that existed in the American suburbs. In addition, "Shermer" is a "city for everyone" for every teenager and an express homage to Hughes' home area. In 1962 the director moved with his family to Northbrook, where he attended Glenbrook North High School.
Many parts of the film Ferris Bueller's Day Off (Original Title: Ferris Bueller's Day Off ) were filmed at Glenbrook North High School in the fall of 1985, with the students serving as extras (however, most of the interior shots were filmed at Maine North High School). The water tower, on which "Save Ferris" is written, is located near the public library in Northbrook.
In addition, the party scene from the movie " Alone With Uncle Buck " (Original Title: "Oncle Buck") was filmed in a house on Cabtree Lane in Northbrook, while the grocery store scene in "She's Having a Baby" was filmed at Sunset Foods , and scenes from " A normal family " (Original title: "Ordinary People") and " LISA " (Original title: "Weird science") were filmed in the Northbrook Court shopping center.
