Forest Glen,
one of the 77 community areas of Chicago, Illinois,
on the city's Northwest Side.
Edgebrook borders the neighborhood
of Sauganash. Edgebrook was once part of the Sauganash
land tract and was annexed by the city of Chicago in
1889. To the north of Edgebrook lie Wildwood and then
North Edgebrook. Frequently the three communities together
are referred to as "Edgebrook." "Edgebrook"
is roughly bordered by I-94 (Edens Expressway) and the
city limits to the east, the forest preserve and Niles
to the West, The North Branch of the Chicago River to
the South, and the Chicago city limits to the north.
A community of about 550 residences
on the Northwest side of Chicago is often referred to
as "Chicago's Finest Community". It is one
of the oldest neighborhoods in Chicago. First inhabited
by Captain William Hazelton of the 1st cavalry Division,
he built the Glen's first barn at what is now Lawler
and Foster. The Forest Glen neighborhood is bordered
by the Chicago River to the North, Foster Ave to the
South, Cicero Ave to the East and Metra Milwaukee District
North line to the West. |
