[edit] Origin of the Village Name
I plan on editing this page in the next few days. As far as I know, the origin of Hoffman Estates has no relation to anyone named Buz Hoffman, but rather to Sam and Jack Hoffman, local builders. If you have information to the contrary, please post it here... --Mrquizzical 23:39, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] National Reputation
Hoffman Estates is known, nationally, for the corruption of its police department. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wowest (talk • contribs) 03:34, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
