[edit] Edgebrook

Edgebrook borders the neighborhood of Sauganash. Edgebrook was once part of the Sauganash land tract and was annexed by the city of Chicago in 1889. To the north of Edgebrook lie Wildwood and then North Edgebrook. Frequently the three communities together are referred to as "Edgebrook."

[edit] Sauganash

Sauganash was once part of the Sauganash land tract and was annexed by the city of Chicago in 1889. This neighborhood is named after Sauganash, a local Potawotomi leader in the 19th century. The "Old Treaty Elm" was located here. The neighborhood is home to two churches: Sauganash Community Church, a non-denominational Protestant church, and Queen of All Saints, a Roman Catholic Basilica. The Sauganash neighborhood, a residential area, has many distinctive, individualistic homes. It also had large tracts of prairie land until the mid 1950's.

The Sauganash neighborhood is bordered by Devon to the North, Bryn Mawr to the South, Cicero to the West, and Pulaski to the East.
