History of the 1st District
When you think of the 1st Congressional District of Illinois, a few things should come to mind; a historic, culturally diverse, lively, unique, and cultural hub of American life. The shape of the district has changed over the past years; however the core of the district begins at the tip of Bronzeville, once a destination point for millions of migrating Black families from the south. It is in this community where popular American music was nurtured, from Blues to Jazz, to Rock and Roll, all have come of age in this neighborhood. The 1st Congressional district stretches out across many other historic neighborhoods in the City of Chicago including, Auburn-Gresham, Chatham, Englewood, Hyde Park/Kenwood, Morgan Park, West Englewood and Woodlawn and also includes part or all of several south suburban areas: Alsip, Blue Island, Crestwood, Dixmoor, Evergreen Park, Markham, Midlothian, Oak Forest, Orland Hills, Palos Heights, Posen, Robbins, Tinley Park and Worth.
Many historical, cultural and educational institutions in the south Chicagoland area are in the 1st Congressional district including; University of Chicago, Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), Illinois College of Optometry, The DuSable Museum just to name a few.
The district also hosts Provident Hospital, where Dr. Daniel Hale conducted the first successful open-heart surgery and the world renowned University of Chicago Hospitals.
The residents, business owners and consumers of the 1st Congressional District bring creativity, and pride to the Chicagoland area. Their commitment to ensuring the safety and preservation of their communities is seen as you pass through the areas of the 1st district. When you are visiting the Chicagoland area please stop and enjoy some of the sights and sounds of the 1st Congressional District.
