The land that is now Elk Grove was ceded to the U.S. As a result of the Treaty, the United States was granted control of all land west of Lake Michigan and east of Lake Winnebago in exchange for a tract of land west of the Mississippi. In 1833, the Potawatomi signed the 1833 Treaty of Chicago with the United States Government. In the late 1700s and early 1800s, the Potawatomi expanded southwards from their territory in Green Bay and westward from their holdings near Detroit, until they controlled in an L-shaped swath of territory from Green Bay to the Illinois River, and from the Mississippi River to the Maumee River. The French-allied Potawatomi began to raid and take possession of Northern Illinois in the 1700s. The Confederacy was driven from the area by the Iroquois and Fox in the early 1700s. The land that is now the Village of Elk Grove was controlled by the Miami Confederacy (which contained the Illini and Kickapoo tribes) starting in the early 1680s. Elk Grove is also expected to be served by the I-490 Western O'Hare Bypass upon completion of the project. The community is served by several Interstate highways including I-90, I-290/ I-355/ Route 53, and IL-390.
It is directly adjacent to O'Hare International Airport and is economically important to the Chicago metropolitan area due to its large industrial park, located on the eastern border of the village.
Located 20 miles (32 km) northwest of Chicago along the Golden Corridor, the Village of Elk Grove Village was incorporated on July 17, 1956. Per the 2020 census, the population was 32,812. Elk Grove Village is a village in Cook and DuPage counties in the U.S.
