Origin of the City
Lincoln Park was a natural park, known since the 1820s. Later on, after the Great Chicago Fire, the German and Polish neighborhood wasn’t completely destroyed and the area got included in Chicago. Many Chicagoan families from other areas later on settled in this place, making it populated.
Demographic
Lincoln Park used to be the home of the Puerto Rican community in the 1820s. From the 1950s to 1970s, Lincoln Park had become populated with students from DePaul University. Now, this is a place not only for students but also for business people, individuals, and families.
