Known as the "Village in the City," the Beverly/Morgan Park
community developed as a country retreat for Chicago's social,
political, and economic elite after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.
The area's geography also affected its development; a ridge formed
by the last glacier to visit the area over 12,000 years ago placed
the community at the highest elevation in the city and made it a
perfect place to build large elaborate homes. With a section of the
neighborhood designated as the Ridge Historic District on the
National Register of Historic Places, Beverly/Morgan Park instantly
stands out as a unique area of the city because of its diverse
architectural styles, notable history, and strong sense of
community.
