Historical Note

In 1869, the first forty acre tract was subdivided by L.W. Beck.  A year earlier, the Cook County Normal School was established on a ten acre tract of land donated by Beck.  At that time, the area was known as Normal Park.  The displacement of Chicagoans by the Fire of 1871 led to unprecedented development in Englewood.  In 1872 the area encompassing Wentworth to Halsted and 55th to 71st streets was platted and opened to residential development.  By the time the elevated system was extended to the southwest side, the character of Englewood had matured.  By 1905 most of the single family dwellings in the community had been built.

Englewood had always had a working class, blue collar character.  In 1920 there were 86,619 people living in Englewood.  One-fifth were foreign born-mostly from northwestern European countries.  Only two per cent of the population was black.  By 1930, residential construction had all but ceased.  In fact, in 1960, only two per cent of the units in Englewood had been constructed since 1930.

The character of Englewood had changed again in 1960.  While German and Irish Americans controlled the area politically and economically, blacks accounted for exactly sixty-nine per cent of Englewood's population.  The 1960s witness massive "white flight" from the Englewood area, further damaging the image and stability of the neighborhood.  The dramatic changes taking place during the 1960s are attested to by the facts that owner occupancy of residential property in Englewood had slipped to twenty-seven per cent and that  fifty-six per cent of Englewood’s residents now lived in multiple unit dwellings.

Scope and Content

The ECC is organized into thirteen separate subject series ranging alphabetically from Biographical Data to War Time Activities (See Series Descriptions below). Photographs have been removed to the Neighborhood History Research Collection-Audio-visual Collection (NHRC-AV) and are listed following the Box and Folder Inventory. Cross referencing has been provided for related subjects appearing in different series or record groups.

The materials contained in the ECC document Englewood's development from around the 1850s to the early 1960s.  The crossing of the Michigan, Southern & Northern Indiana Railroad's tracks in 1852 by the Chicago, Rock Island Railroad's tracks at what is now 63rd and LaSalle streets began the transformation of Englewood.  The little community along side the tracks was known as Chicago Junction, until 1868, when a group of newly arrived settlers from Englewood, New Jersey renamed their township Englewood, Illinois.  True to the character of the Englewood area, its first residents were largely German and Irish railroad workers.  The Englewood settlement remained  close to the junction but even in the 1860s and 1870s, the community began extending east and west along 63rd street.

Perhaps the most impressive aspects of the ECC are its fine collection of audio-visual materials and the series devoted to schools in Englewood.  Yearbooks, student notebooks and photographs of Lindbloom and Parker High School as well as information on the Cook Country Normal School can be researched in this collection.

What follows is a list of important subjects located in the ECC:
Armstrong, James E.
 The Budd Family
"Chicago Story - Englewood Section of Chicago" (album)
Cook Country Normal School
Hamilton Park
"History of Englewood"
Ickes, Harold L.
Lindblom High School
Parker High School
St. Anne Catholics Church
Wentworth School

This series is comprised mainly of photographs along with some manuscript materials on Englewood residents.  The photographs have been removed from the ECC and placed I the NHRC-AV and arranged alphabetically under classification of Portrait & Family Photographs.

Series II: Business Establishments, 1899 - 1948

This series contains information on eleven Englewood churches.  The churches in this series are arranged alphabetically by Church name.  Documents included in this series are anniversary brochures and programs, Church directories, Church publications and historical sketches.  Cross references have been made for churches appearing in the ECC and the NHRC-AV.

Series IV: Clubs & Organizations, 1884 - 1948
Social clubs and other organizations played an important part in Englewood's development.  This series documents club activities for over twenty clubs in the Englewood area.  It is arranged alphabetically by club name.  Records included in this series are minute books, membership lists, club publications and programs and invitations to club events.  Cross references have been made to NHRC-AV.

Series V: Community Historical Essays & Sketches, 1925, 1960, n.d
This series contains historical essays and sketches about Englewood.  They were produced by people having various abilities and knowledge of Englewood, and as a result, vary greatly in their quality.  The sketches are arranged alphabetically by the title of each.

Series XII: Transportation, 1880 - 1950

This small series records some of the Englewood neighborhood's activities on the "home front" during this country's two world wars.

Supplement 1
The materials in Supplement 1 are few but rich.  They are described more fully in the Contents List.  The items in folders 7:13, 15-18, and 20 were a donation of Alice Jacoby Harnish, who was born in Englewood in 1905.  This material covers Mrs. Harnish's teen years of the early 1920s.  See also items from Mrs. Harnish in the Englewood High School collection. Early history of Englewood is shown in the business broadsides of the Englewood Roller Skating Rink, 1885 (7:14), and the concert program in South Park, 1877 (7:19).
