    History of Lincoln Park/ Significant Landmarks

    The area now known as Lincoln Park in Chicago was primarily forest with
    stretches of grassland and occasional quicksand until the late 1820s
    During the great depression, many buildings in Lincoln Park fell into disrepair.
    By 1956, Lincoln Park received urban renewal funds to renovate and restore
    old buildings and schools
    By the end of the twentieth century, the combination of public and private
    urban renewal efforts had made Lincoln Park one of the highest-status
    neighborhoods in the city.
