Northbrook is a village located at the northern edge of Cook County, Illinois. The population was 33,435 at the 2000 census, and estimated to be 34,190 as of 2005.
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 in 1923 as an effort to improve its public image.
Glenbrook North High School, founded in 1953 as Glenbrook High School, is located in Northbrook, as are the corporate headquarters of Underwriters Laboratories, Allstate Corporation, and Crate and Barrel. The village is also home to Northbrook Court shopping mall, the Ed Rudolph Velodrome, and the Northbrook Public Library.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 13.0 square miles (33.6 kmē), of which, 12.9 square miles (33.5 kmē) of it is land and 0.1 square miles (0.1 kmē) of it (0.39%) is water.
Movies set in Northbrook
Director John Hughes has used his hometown of Northbrook in several of his films. Many parts of Ferris Bueller's Day Off were filmed at Glenbrook North in the fall of 1985 with students serving as extras (most of the interior shots, though, were filmed at the shuttered Maine North High School). The closing scene from the The Breakfast Club was shot at the Glenbrook North High School football field. The party scene from the movie Uncle Buck was filmed at a house in the Highlands neighborhood, on Crabtree Lane. The grocery store scene in She's Having a Baby was filmed at Sunset Foods, and scenes in Ordinary People and Weird Science were shot at the Northbrook Court shopping mall. A small scene from the movie Risky Business was shot at a highway ramp off the Edens Expressway.
Some interior shots from the 2005 Harold Ramis-directed movie Ice Harvest were filmed in a revamped commercial building off of Commercial Avenue.
