Lakeview began as a farming settlement where they grew celery and greenhouse flowers. In 1889, Chicago annexed the town of Lakeview.
Between the 1930’s and 1950’s, immigrants from Germany and Luxembourg, began moving to Lakeview. Wealthy Chicagoans saw an opportunity to build spacious homes and apartment buildings along the lakefront. Block after block of affordable wooden houses were built for workers who settled farther inland closer to the factories. The Germans also wanted their saloons, many of which still stand. Restoration continues westward, particularly in the vicinity of Wrigley Field.
