Only 25 miles north of Chicago, Deerfield is a quaint village in Lake County, Illinois, with a small but closely knitted population. The estimated travel time to Chicago is 40 minutes by commuter train, which stops at Chicago’s Union Station. Although many people commute daily to Chicago, Deerfield has a significant employment base itself, housing the headquarters to Walgreens, Business Technology Partners, APAC Customer Services, Fortune Brands, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, Baxter Healthcare, Cosi, and Consumers Digest, among others. Printing companies have been very successful with Flyer Printing in Deerfield to promote the impressive business community.
Originally named Cadwell’s Corners after Jacob B. Cadwell who built a farm in 1835, a shopping center located on Cadwell’s original farm today bears its name. It officially became Deerfield in 1849 because of the large population of deer in the area and because it reminded settler, John Millen, of his hometown, Deerfield in Massachusetts. Town-building plans date as far back as 1917, when architect Thomas Talmadge envisioned all of Deerfield’s farms to be developed into golf courses and residential areas. The village that developed is clearly a success since Deerfield has been named as one of the best places in America to raise children based on school test scores, the cost of living, recreational activities. cultural events, selection of schools, and risk of crime.
Deerfield Square is the center of activity, with shopping and entertainment, indoors and outdoors, including a very popular farmer’s market. The railway extends through the center of the village with retail shops concentrated at Lake Cook Road and Waukegan Road, and corporate offices and industry extending west of there along the southern boundary. Many opportunities exist for Flyer Printing in Deerfield to provide local companies with marketing campaigns, newsletters, and promotional drives, within the vibrant and expansive employment areas.
