About McCook
A tiny industrial village of just 249 residents (2020 census) — the smallest municipality in Cook County — McCook is dominated by quarries, rail yards, and industrial plants along the I-55 corridor, with a small residential pocket. The vibe is purely functional: an industrial tax-base enclave rather than a bedroom suburb.
