Andersonville's roots as a community extend well back into the 19th century, when immigrant Swedish farmers started moving north into what was then a distant suburb of Chicago. In the 1850's the area north of Foster and east of Clark was a large cherry orchard, and families had only begun to move into the fringes of what is now Andersonville. The neighborhood's first school, the Andersonville School, was built in 1854 at the corner of those two thoroughfares, and served as the area's primary school until 1908.As we enter the 21st century, Andersonville continues to grow and change. An upcoming street construction project that will bring new sidewalks, streetlights, and identifiers will pay homage to the area's Swedish roots while embracing the changes Andersonville has undergone over the last several decades. |
