Homewood is a village in Cook County, Illinois, United States. The population was 19,543 at the 2000 census.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 5.3 square miles (13.6 km²), of which, 5.2 square miles (13.5 km²) of it is land and 0.1 square miles (0.1 km²) of it (0.95%) is water. It lies on the Calumet Shoreline. The shoreline can be seen clearly as the sand ridge along Ridge Road.

Homewood sits on the edge of Lake Michigan, which was formed by a retreating glacier long before Lake Michigan. One of the main east-west roads through the town, Ridge Road, got its name because it runs along what used to be the ridge of the lake.

The area is rich in limestone deposits, and neighbors Thornton Quarry. In its beginning, the area featured excellent topsoil making it an appealing place for farmers to settle. James and Sally Hart were the first confirmed settlers in the area in 1834. They were New Englanders, as were the families that immediately followed them; the Butterfields, the Campbells, the Clarks, and the Hoods.

In 1839, German and Dutch families began to move into the area as well. The town began to use the name of Hartford. The first store in Homewood was Hasting's General Store; Dr. William Doepp was its first doctor. Attracted by the country life after his Chicago practice was burned down, he moved to the area in 1851. His practice extended from Crown Point, Indiana to New Lenox, Illinois, and he was required to keep two teams of horses in order to make all his calls. In 1853, the Illinois Central Railroad (IC) established a station in Hartford, calling it Thornton Station, as most of the passengers came from nearby Thornton.

This began a serious period of confusion, as mail for the two separate towns was regularly mixed up. In 1869, settlers petitioned the post office to be renamed as Homewood, after the woods that the residents lived among. The 1870s brought a new era to Homewood, ushered in by trains and by the crowded conditions of the city. country clubs such as the Homewood Country Club (later changed to Flossmoor Country Club), Dixmoor, Ravisloe, Idlewild and Calumet brought in trains just for golfers. The IC established the Calumet station specifically for their convenience. Wealthy families impressed by the area, and ease of getting to the city, established residences in the area, as permanent or summer homes.
