Neighborhood Life
The now-shuttered Charlie Trotter's put Chicago on the culinary map in the 1990s, but it was Grant Achatz's Alinea restaurant that has kept it there in recent years. Lincoln Park is also home to a number of trendy restaurants serving all sorts of cuisine, as well as brunch spots, sports bars and late-night establishments. Lincoln Avenue is a stretch in Lincoln Park that pulses with dining and drinking destinations, plus shops, thrift stores, boutiques and more. Street parking is challenging in most areas, so the majority of residents have garages or reserved parking spots.
Lincoln Park History
Established in the mid-1800s, the neighborhood now known as Lincoln Park first attracted affluent settlers because of its proximity to Lake Michigan. The main park, where Lincoln Park Zoo is now situated, was actually first named Lake Park until the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. The Great Fire of Chicago in 1871 also affected parts of Lincoln Park, forcing residents to rebuild even more lavish and architecturally aesthetic mansions, homes and brownstones. DePaul University was established in 1907.
The Great Depression affected Lincoln Park to the extent that housing stock deteriorated and homeowners neglected their properties. That led to the formation of the Old Town Triangle Association and Lincoln Park Conservation Association in the 1950s. These groups aggressively pursued public government funds to keep up the maintenance of the residences as well as property values. Today Lincoln Park maintains an affluent image as one of the most prosperous neighborhoods in the country.
