Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood consists of the area bordered by Foster Avenue to Montrose Avenue, Damen Avenue to the Chicago River. The neighborhood's history dates back to the 1850s and 1860s, when farmers settled what was prairie and farmland at the time. In the early 1900s, it experienced major growth that was spurred by the installation of electric streetcars along its main thoroughfares and by the opening of the elevated train line in 1907 (now the CTA Brown Line). It was finally annexed to the city of Chicago in the 1920s.
Today, Lincoln Square's vibrant combination of shopping, residential, park and industrial districts make it a great place to live, shop and do business. It's easy to access our great businesses by the CTA Brown Line, multiple CTA bus lines or by the Metra Union Pacific North line. Lincoln Square also offers metered street parking throughout its commercial districts, in addition to several public parking lots. Ample parks, bike lanes and public squares make our neighborhood friendly to both pedestrians and bicyclists, too. |
