Background and History of Lakeview

Lake View was used as a camp and trail path for the Miami, Ottawa, and Winnebago Native American tribes. Conrad Sulzer of Winterthur, Zürich, Switzerland was the first white settler to live in the area in 1837. In 1853, one of the first permanent structures was built by James Rees and Elisha Hundley on the corner of present-day Byron Street at Lake Shore Drive and was called the Hotel Lake View, named for the hotel's unobstructed view of the shores of Lake Michigan.[2] It gained what was characterized as a resort atmosphere.

The early settlement continued to grow, especially due to increased immigration of farming families from Germany, Luxembourg and Sweden.[2] Lake View experienced a population boom as Chicago suffered a deadly and devastating cholera outbreak. The Hotel Lake View served as refuge for many Chicagoans but became filled to capacity. Homestead lands were sold and housing was built. Access to the new community was served by a wooden plank road connected to the Fullerton Parkway called Lake View Plank Road, present-day Broadway. With infrastructure and growing population, residents realized it was time to organize formal governance to provide essential public services.
