Settlement of the area known as the West Garfield Park community was stimulated in the late 1800s by the extension of transportation and municipal services to the area. The building of railroad manufacturing shops by the Galena and Chicago Union Railroad (later the Chicago and North Western) in 1873 brought two thousand Scandinavian, Irish and German workers who settled to the west in what was then called Central Park. In 1878, the St. Mel parish was established at Keeler Avenue and Maypole Street. A number of other churches soon appeared, although until the 1900s only scattered and limited commercial and residential activity took place around the settlement. Early in 1889, as the western and southern portions of the community area were annexed to the city, Garfield Park became a major recreational area, stimulating settlement in the East Garfield Park community area.
By 1920, more than 40,000 people lived in West Garfield Park. They were mainly first- and second-generation Irish and some Russian Jews. By 1930 population reached 50,000, with more Russian Jews and some Italians moving in from farther east. Construction virtually ceased in 1930 with the onset of the Depression, and in the decades that followed population dropped considerably. The 1950s saw a substantial shift in the communities ethnic and racial composition, as African-Americans moved into the southeast region of the area and increasing numbers of Italians and Mexicans moved into the area.

The West Garfield Park Community Collection was originally part of the collections of the West Side Historical Society, which formed at the Legler branch of The Chicago Public Library in 1930 to promote and collect the history of Chicago's west side. Upon the dissolution of the Historical Society in the late 1950s, its records and materials remained at the Legler branch, where they suffered the mistreatment and depredations of unsupervised use and inadequate storage facilities. To protect the materials, an agreement was struck with the University of Illinois-Chicago campus for the temporary custody of the collection at the University of Illinois. As agreed, the materials were transferred to The Chicago Public Library's Special Collections Division ten years later, where they were divided up by community area, processed under the auspices of a grant from the Dr. Scholl Foundation, and placed in the Neighborhood Research Collection.
Processed July 1989.
The West Garfield Park Community Collection is available to the public for research in the Special Collections and Preservation Division Reading Room on the 9th floor of the Harold Washington Library Center, 400 South State Street, Chicago, Illinois, 60605. The collection does not circulate although photocopy and photoreproduction services are available depending upon the condition of the original materials. First time patrons to Special Collections must present a photo identification and complete a Reader Registration Form. Telephone inquiries on this collection and other Special Collections holdings can be directed to 312-747-4875.
