A little history

Far Southwest Side in Chicago. Chicago grew from a portage between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi watershed and is today the third-largest city in the United States. It was incorporated in 1837 and divided into 77 official community areas, which this page uses as its neighborhoods. Far Southwest Side sits on the southwestern edge of the city and includes Beverly, Morgan Park, Auburn Gresham, Washington Heights, Ashburn and Mount Greenwood.

Notable neighborhoods in Far Southwest Side include:

Beverly and Morgan Park. Beverly and Morgan Park sit on the Blue Island Ridge, a low ridge left by glacial Lake Chicago. Morgan Park was a separate village until it joined Chicago in 1914, and both are known for large older houses and tree-lined streets.

Auburn Gresham and Washington Heights. Auburn Gresham and Washington Heights grew along the rail lines in the early twentieth century, and Ashburn and Mount Greenwood complete the southwestern edge of the city.
