Let me be the first to help you in your quest!  (I'm looking at a map.)

Chicago and Palatine are in Cook County.  Barrington looks to be on the
northern edge of Cook County (but it might well be in the next county), and
the county north of Cook is Lake County.  South of Palatine (Palatine is
about in the middle of a rectangle leg of Cook) is Du Page County (Itasca
is in Du Page).  Aurora is in Kane County.

So "Pool County" is likely to be Lake County.
