This community is named after Lincoln Park, a vast public park bordering Lake Michigan. That park,
in turn, is named after US president Abraham Lincoln.
The area now known as Lincoln Park in Chicago was primarily forest with stretches of grassland and
occasional quicksand until the late 1820s.
In 1824, the United States Army built a small post near today's Clybourn Avenue and Armitage Avenue (formerly Centre
Street). Indian settlements existed along Green Bay Trail, now called Clark Street (named after George Rogers Clark)
In 1836, land from North to Fullerton and from the lake to Halsted was relatively inexpensive, costing $150 per acre. Because
the area was considered remote, a smallpox hospital and the city cemetery were located in Lincoln Park until the 1860s.
In 1837, Chicago was incorporated as a city, and North Avenue was established as the city's northern boundary.
In 1874, the Lincoln Park Zoo was opened.
On July 22, 1934 John Dillinger was killed by FBI agents outside the Biograph Theater, at 2433 N. Lincoln Ave..
In the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, Lincoln Park became home to the first Puerto Rican immigrants to Chicago

5. ACTIVITIES AND LANDMARKS
Created by the first director of the zoo, Cyrus Devry,
this home has 10 different habitats that are suppose to
replicate dense jungle-like
terrain.(http://www.lpzoo.org/magazine/articles/brick-
and-mortar-history)
All sorts of primate species reside here, including the
black howler monkey and white-cheeked gibbon. Create
in 1927, this building contains 9 different exhibits.

Founded in 1868, the first residents at the park were a
pair of very popular swans! The swans were a gift from
New York Central Park commisioners.

Primates of all shapes, sizes and colors can be seen swinging
and bounding through the trees inside the Helen Brach Primate
House. Originally opened in 1927, the historic Primate House
once was lined with small, sterile cages typical of the first zoos.
However, a two-year renovation of the building’s interior,
completed in 1992, created eight, naturalistic exhibits that
replicate the native habitats of the primates that make their
home here. A large outdoor habitat provides additional play
space for white-cheeked gibbons during warmer months
