The land of Roscoe Village was originally bought by developers to make “the world’s largest amusement park.” The streets were flooded with local businesses and visitors to the park. A large industrial era began in 1920 which transformed this area into a popular middle-class neighborhood. Around 1970, the village’s charm was rediscovered by neighbors and began a restoration of single-family homes and historic greystone two-flats. Since then Roscoe Village has become a great neighborhood for local businesses, families, and beautiful parks.
