The district was established in 1994, when the board transitioned from holding elections in individual districts, as opposed to the previous practice of holding a set of two at-large elections (one for ten seats from the city of Chicago and another for seven seats from suburban Cook County).[1]

Geography

1994 boundaries

When the district was first established, it covered parts of the North Side of Chicago and the northern suburbs of Cook County.[2]

2001 redistricting

New boundaries were adopted in August 2001, with redistricting taking place following the 2000 United States Census.[3]

In regards to townships and equivalent jurisdictions, the district's redistricted boundaries included portions of the city of Chicago and portions of the Evanston, Maine, New Trier, Niles, and Northfield townships.[4]

2012 redistricting

The district currently, as redistricted in 2012 following the 2010 United States Census, largely resembles its 2001 form.[5][6] It includes the West Ridge and Rogers Park areas of the City of Chicago as well as Evanston, Glencoe, Glenview, Kenilworth, Lincolnwood, Morton Grove, Northbrook, Northfield, Skokie, Wilmette, and Winnetka in the north suburbs. In regards to townships and equivalent jurisdictions, it includes portions of the cities of Chicago, Evanston, as well as Niles, Northfield, and New Trier townships. With Evanston and New Trier Township, the district covers their entirety. It also covers the majority of Niles Township. Only a small segment of Northfield township is included in the district.[7][8][9] Evanston was previously in Evanston Township, which dissolved in 2014.

The district is 47.75 square miles (30,562.12 acres).[10]

The district has leaned strongly Democratic in its elections to the Cook County Board of Commissioners.
