Jefferson Park, located 10 miles northwest of Chicago's Loop, has a rich history as a vital transportation hub since its early days in the 1830s when settlers established the community along well-traveled Indian trails. The area, originally named Jefferson Township in 1850, evolved significantly with the arrival of immigrant populations and the development of railway and expressway systems, leading to its incorporation in 1872 and eventual annexation by Chicago in 1889.

By the 20th century, Jefferson Park had become a melting pot of cultures, with a diverse population predominantly of Polish and German descent, and a significant presence of Hispanic and Asian communities. Despite its historical significance in transportation, the area has maintained its focus on community-centered activity, with a blend of residential neighborhoods and small businesses at its core.
