Jefferson Park

Jefferson Park, located at the northwest edge of Chicago, has a rich historical background as a vital transportation hub since the early 1830s. Originally a settlement for English farmers, it has evolved into a diverse community with significant Polish and German immigrant influence, particularly throughout the 20th century.

By the mid-20th century, the establishment of expressways and transit connections transformed Jefferson Park into a bustling area. Today, it features a blend of residential architecture, a strong cultural presence, and serves as a community center for its various ethnic groups, including Polish, Asian, and Hispanic populations.
