Background and History of Old Town

The land known as Old Town originally served as a home and trade center to many Nations including Potawatomi, Miami and Illinois.[2] Following the Treaty of Chicago in 1833, most of the indigenous people were forcibly removed, and the land was then settled by German-Catholic immigrants in the mid to late 19th century. Clark Street is a leftover of the culture, it being an old road which followed the high point next to Lake Michigan.

Old Town was one of the first neighborhoods to be gentrified, almost 40 years ago. Today, it is home to some of Chicago's finest and most expensive housing. A neighbor of Lincoln Park, Old Town's main thoroughfares includes Division, Armitage, Clark and Halsted.
