Across 32 years as Schaumburg’s village president, Al Larson was the rare suburban leader whose name became synonymous with his community.

Larson worked for a time in a factory and later as a real estate agent. In 1969, he moved his family from the Northwest Side to Schaumburg. In 1987, Larson decided to run for village president to succeed the retiring Herb Aigner. He handily defeated a Schaumburg United opponent, ending that party’s 30-year grip on the village’s leadership.

“There is this myth that we are developing a downtown out of nothing,” he told the Tribune in 1996. “It was always here. Schaumburg was a crossroads community. It wasn’t just barren fields. It was a center of commerce for Schaumburg Township.”
