About Uptown

Welcome to Uptown, a large, historic North Side Chicago community known best for iconic live performances, gangsters of yesteryear and multi-cultural residents and restaurants. Notorious for being the nighttime playground of Al Capone and crew, the area's entertainment venues have also played host to Charlie Chaplin, Frank Sinatra, The Rolling Stones and Snoop Dogg. Graceland Cemetery, the final resting place of many prominent Chicago business tycoons, entertainers and politicians, is also located in the area. Uptown is comprised of several distinct neighborhoods: Buena Park, Little Vietnam, Margate Park, Sheridan Park and Andersonville Terrace (also known as North Uptown).

Uptown History

In 1861, the area now known as Uptown consisted only of Graceland Cemetery. The prime property surrounding it soon became a hot commodity, drawing European immigrants, who settled in Buena Park and Sheridan Park. Around the turn of the 20th century, developers took advantage of the ever-growing population and built a number of live-entertainment venues in hopes that the area would rival Broadway, New York's City's theater district. Shortly thereafter, the Aragon Ballroom and Riviera Theatre were built. The Great Depression wrought havoc on the neighborhood, and many of the most prosperous residents migrated north. Those who remained behind fought to keep Uptown intact, and landmark status was eventually placed upon the areas with historic mansions and brownstones, namely Buena Park and Sheridan Park.

The 1970s brought an influx of Asian immigrants to the area, and by the end of the decade Little Vietnam was established. A host of residences, shops, restaurants and bakeries make up what is now known as the West Argyle Street Historic District.

Development of the area continued in the 2000s, as new construction and renovation of mansions and brownstones attracted even more residents.
