Chicago Park (formerly: Storm's Station)[1] is an unincorporated community in Nevada County, California, United States, along State Route 174 southeast of Grass Valley, California, and north of Colfax, California.
The town was settled by first-generation Italian-Americans who immigrated to the area from Chicago, Illinois.[2]
In 1915, J.F. Siems' Mountain Bartlett Pears from his Chicago Park orchard won first prize at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco.[3][4]
