Geography
1994 boundaries
When the district was first established, it covered part of the western suburbs of Cook County and a small portion of Chicago.[2][3]
The district was bizarrely shaped. It stretched from Wheeling Township (about ten miles north of O'Hare International Airport) to the county line with Will County, the two points being 42 miles apart. For much of its length, the district was only one-mile wide. At some points it was narrower. The small portion of Chicago in the district contained O'Hare International Airport.[3]

New boundaries were adopted in August 2001, with redistricting taking place following the 2000 United States Census.[4]
In regards to townships, the district's redistricted boundaries included portions of Berwyn, Cicero, Leyden, Lyons, Proviso, Stickney townships.[5]

In regards to townships and equivalent jurisdictions, it included portions of the city of Chicago, as well as portions of Berwyn, Cicero, Leyden, Lyons, Proviso, Riverside, Stickney townships.[8]
The district was 46.77 square miles (29,932.44 acres).[9]
