Lincolnwood Village is located in Cook County. It is 2.5 square miles. The first inhabitants were the Potawatomi Native Americans, but they moved locations after the Indian Boundary Treaty of 1816. The land was an easily flooded prairie, which made farmers hesitant to move to Lincolnwood. The village began to grow after the North Shore Channel was completed.

Lincolnwood was originally incorporated under the name Tessville, after German settler Johann Tess. During prohibition, the village became a center for speakeasies and gambling. Today it is home to the exclusive, invitation only, Bryn Mawr Country Club and golf course.
