Some interesting info about Forest Glen...

Forest Glen is located on the Northwest Side of Chicago, and the following neighborhoods are part of the Forest Glen community: Forest Glen, Edgebrook and Sauganash, Sauganash Park, Wildwood, North Edgebrook and Old Edgebrook.

Old Edgebrook is located between Central and Devon Avenues and the Edgebrook Golf Course, consisting of several blocks of large, stately homes originally built in the 1890s for railroad executives. Today, Old Edgebrook is an historical landmark district, surrounded on all sides by Cook County Forest Preserve land.

Sitting across the river is Indian Woods (or South Edgebrook). Indian Woods is originally part of the Forest Glen community area, but also located in the northern portion of Jefferson Park. It shares the 60646 (Edgebrook) zip code. There are multiple unique wooden signs marking the Indian Woods community that have been in place for decades.

Sauganash

Sauganash was once part Caldwell's Reserve. This neighborhood is named after Billy Caldwell, also known as Sauganash (meaning "English speaking"). Born to a Mohawk mother and an Irish father, William Caldwell Sr., was a Captain of the British Butler Rangers, who became a leader of the Potawotomi. The "Treaty Elm" which stood until the 1930s was originally used in the first and second government surveys of the reserve. Sauganash negotiated with the United States on behalf of the United Nations of the Chippewa, Ottawa and Potawotomi. In return for his services, the US government gave him 1600 acres on the Chicago River.



Forest Glen

A community of about 550 residences on the far Northwest side of the city of Chicago is often referred to as "Chicago's Finest Community". The first European American to settle Forest Glen was Civil War hero Captain William Hazelton of the 1st Cavalry Division. Captain Hazelton built a home in Forest Glen which still stands, and started a Sunday School that evolved into the First Congregational Church of Forest Glen.
