Lincoln Park was originally called "Cabbage Patch" by early German farmers. In the 1850s, a Roman Catholic church was built and a cemetery established, but the graves posed a health risk and the land became Lake Park in 1864. It was renamed Lincoln Park in 1865 after President Lincoln. Cultural institutions like the zoo and museums were later built, attracting residents. Today, Lincoln Park has a median household income of $75,122 and is predominantly Caucasian, with landmarks like the Abraham Lincoln Monument and Lincoln Park Zoo.

History Most of the early inhabitants were German farmers who first named the area Cabbage Patch. In 1852, the Germans began building a Roman Catholic Church. Soon thereafter, the city of Chicago made a portion of the area into a cemetery for the church. Sadly, the graves proved such a health hazard that the cemetery was moved and the land became Lake Park in 1864. It was renamed Lincoln Park the next year for the assassinated president. This recreational center attracted such cultural institutions as the Chicago Academy of Sciences, the Lincoln Park Zoo, and the Chicago Historical Society.
