Greater Grand Crossing

 The name "Grand Crossing" comes from an 1853 right of way feud between the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway and the Illinois Central.  As the name implies, Greater Grand Crossing encompasses several neighborhoods: Grand Crossing, Park Manor, Brookline, Brookdale, and Essex. The original Grand Crossing community consisted of the southeast corner of the present community areas. The entire area was annexed to Chicago in 1889 as part of Hyde Park Township.
