Neighborhood InfoThe city's North Side (extending north of downtown) is the most densely populated residential section of the city. It contains public parkland (such as the huge Lincoln Park) and beaches stretching for miles along Lake Michigan to the city's northern border. It also includes Eastern European and other ethnic enclaves. Many highrises line the eastern side of the North Side along the waterfront. The North Side is also noted for being the home of the Chicago Cubs.
Edison Park's settlement history dates back to 1834, with the arrival of pioneer Christian Ebinger Sr., 21, and his family: parents John and Katherine Ebinger and his new bride, Barbara. As they traveled northwest from Chicago on the Indian trail to Milwaukee, Wisconsin (Milwaukee Avenue), their single horse was bitten by a snake and died, leaving them stranded. The Ebingers decided to settle there, between Touhy and Devon west of the North Branch of the Chicago River, where they were joined by Christian's older brothers Frederick and John and their sister Elizabeth (Mrs. John) Plank. The local public elementary school was named after Christian Ebinger. One tradition in the community since 1972 is the Edison Park Fest, an end-of-summer weekend sponsored by the Edison Park Chamber of Commerce, combining merchant sidewalk sales, entertainment, a parade, Taste of Chicago and arts and crafts. It is an opportunity to introduce visitors to the benefits which the community has to offer. The EP Fest is celebrated every year in mid-August.
