Jefferson Park
Jefferson Park, situated at the northwest edge of Chicago, is a vibrant community that has evolved from its historical roots as a transportation hub established in the early 1830s. Originally named Jefferson Township after President Thomas Jefferson, the area saw significant growth due to its connections via plank roads and railways, attracting diverse populations of immigrants over the years.
Incorporated in 1872 and known for its rich ethnic diversity, Jefferson Park has maintained its status as a central activity hub with various transportation links, including a major Metra station and bus connections. As the neighborhood continues to develop, it remains a welcoming community with a blend of historical architecture and modern amenities.
