North Park is one of 77 well-defined community areas of the City of Chicago. It is bordered by the North Shore Channel on the east, the Chicago River's North Branch and Foster Avenue on the south, Cicero Avenue on the west (except for the section in the northwest corner, north of Bryn Mawr Avenue, which is part of the Sauganash neighborhood) and Devon Avenue on the north.
[edit] Neighborhood
Originally a Swedish community and later a stronghold of Orthodox Jews, it more recently has been adopted by American newcomers, from Latinos to Middle Easterners, Koreans and Eastern Europeans. It is part of the 60625 zip code.
Both the Good Counsel Province of the Polish Felician Sisters and the Evangelical Covenant Church are headquartered in this neighborhood, as is Chicago's PBS station, WTTW, in the Chicago Production Center. Two universities and a Yeshiva make for concentrated educational resources. The closest El stop is the Kimball station on the Brown Line.
North Park is in Jefferson Township, which was annexed into Chicago in 1889.
