The Chicago area, or "Chicagoland" used to be defined as the six-county area, but now it's considered the seven county area to include Kendall County. And that doesn't even include Kenosha and NW Indiana, which is why the Chevy commercials always talk about visiting "your Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana Chevy dealers."
