Buffalo Grove, Illinois is a northwest Chicago suburb located in both Cook and Lake County.  The first pioneers arrived in the Buffalo Grove around 1834.  Why the suburb is called “Buffalo Grove” is uncertain.  It is theorized that when the English, French, and Pottawatomi Indians were ranging through northeastern Illinois, at the same time as were the buffalo.  A buffalo skeleton was found beside the ‘Buffalo Creek,' and that is how the name Buffalo Grove came into existence.  The estimated population is approximately 43,000 residents.
