== History ==
Line 127 ⟶ 125:
In 1824, the [[United States Army]] built a small post near today's Clybourn Avenue and Armitage Avenue (formerly Centre Street). Native American settlements existed along Green Bay Trail, now called [[Clark Street (Chicago)|Clark Street]] (named after [[George Rogers Clark]]), at the current intersection of [[Halsted Street]] and Fullerton Avenue. Before Green Bay Trail became Clark Street, it stretched as far as [[Green Bay, Wisconsin]], including [[Sheridan Road]], and was part of what still is Green Bay Road in [[Milwaukee County]], Wisconsin.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.edgewaterhistory.org/articles/index.html?v10-1-1.html|title= Green Bay Road}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= http://packerland.blogspot.com/2008/01/historic-green-bay-road-to-chicago.html|title= Green Bay Road 2|url-status= dead|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100822153050/http://packerland.blogspot.com/2008/01/historic-green-bay-road-to-chicago.html|archive-date= August 22, 2010|df= mdy-all}}</ref>
In 1836, land from North to Fullerton and from the lake to Halsted was relatively inexpensive, costing {{convert|150|$/acre|$/ha}} (1836 prices, not adjusted for inflation). Because the area was considered remote, a [[smallpox]] hospital and the city cemetery were located in Lincoln Park until the 1860s.<ref>{{Cite book|title=History of Cook County, Illinois--: Being a General Survey of Cook County History, Including a Condensed History of Chicago and Special Account of Districts Outside the City Limits; from the Earliest Settlement to the Present Time, Volume 2|last=Goodspeed|first=Weston Arthur|publisher=Goodspeed Historical Association|year=1909|location=Chicago|pages=381–382|
In 1837, Chicago was incorporated as a city, and North Avenue (to the south of today's Lincoln Park neighborhood) was established as the city's northern boundary. Settlements increased along Green Bay Trail when the government offered land claims and Green Bay Road was widened. The area north of Chicago, including today's Lincoln Park, was eventually incorporated as [[Lake View, Chicago#History|Lake View]] Township. The city, nonetheless, owned extensive tracts of land north of North Avenue, including what is now the park. The Township was annexed to Chicago in 1889.<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Lake View Saga|last=Clark|first=Stephen Bedell|year=1971|location=Chicago|pages=3|
In the period following the [[American Civil War|Civil War]], the area around Southport and Clybourn became home to a community of [[Kashubian diaspora|Kashubian immigrants]]. Arriving from what is now north-eastern [[Poland]], Chicago's [[Kashubians]] brought their own distinct culture and [[Kashubian language|language]], influenced by their rustic traditions.{{citation
