8. History of
BucktownAlthough smaller neighborhood of Chicago, Bucktown
is a neighborhood with it’s own unique personality.
Bucktown was originally a hub for Polish immigrants in
the 1800s. Since then, it has grown in size and
population with a dominant hispanic population as of
today. Multiple street art and portraits are painted on
sides of buildings, giving Bucktown that “hipster” or
“artsy” vibe. Despite the fact that it is shadowed by
Wicker Park, a bigger and more known neighboorhood
to the south, Bucktown still has it’s own original
character.
