Chicagoland


 

Chicagoland is the preferred name for the Chicago metropolitan area and locally has the standing of an official name. Chicagoland includes the City of Chicago at its core and encompasses smaller cities and suburban communities located in nine surrounding counties in the states of Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. Newcomers to the area are often surprised to learn that the seemingly quaint term is not a mere nickname. Indeed, Chicagoland is virtually the only term local residents, businesses, governments, and planning agencies will use to refer to the metropolitan area. Locally, the term "Chicago metropolitan area" is rarely heard, and will likely have locals wondering why the speaker didn't simply say Chicagoland, instead. The term originated in the pages of the Chicago Tribune in the 1900s.
