Rosemont is a village in
Cook County, Illinois,
United States, located immediately northwest of
Chicago. As of the
2010 census it had a population of 4,202. The village was incorporated in 1956, though it had been settled long before that. While Rosemont's land area and population are relatively small among municipalities in the
Chicago Metropolitan Area, the village is a major center for commercial activity in the region and is a key component of the
Golden Corridor. Due to its proximity to several interstates,
O'Hare International Airport, and downtown Chicago, it has emerged as a significant
edge city and
entertainment district, with numerous corporate facilities, millions of square feet of office space, nearly 50 restaurants, 15 hotels, the
Donald E. Stephens Convention Center (home to numerous conventions and trade shows), the 16,000+ seat
Allstate Arena (home to the
Chicago Wolves,
Chicago Sky,
DePaul Blue Demons, and numerous concerts and other live entertainment events), the 4,000+ seat
Rosemont Theatre, the 130-store
Fashion Outlets of Chicago, the
Rosemont Stadium (home to an outdoor collegiate-level baseball stadium and 140,000 sq ft indoor sports dome), and the entertainment complex MB Financial Park, which features restaurants, entertainment and a large common area used for summer concerts and ice skating in the winter. Rosemont is also proximate to
Rivers Casino in nearby
Des Plaines and additional hotels, offices, restaurants, and corporate facilities in the adjacent
O'Hare neighborhood of Chicago and nearby suburban communities such as Des Plaines and
Schiller Park.
