Avondale is one of 77 officially designated Chicago, Illinois community areas. It is located on the Northwest Side of Chicago. Its main borders are the North Branch of the Chicago River, Diversey Avenue, Addison Street, Pulaski Road and the Union Pacific/Northwest rail line; bisecting the community are Belmont and Milwaukee Avenues along with the Kennedy Expressway (Interstate 90/Interstate 94). Located directly north of the Logan Square neighborhood, it is also accessible through the Belmont and Logan Square stations of the CTA Blue Line. Now considered a neighborhood of Chicago, Avondale became part of the city when it annexed Jefferson Township in 1889. Factories that sprang up around the turn of the 20th century by the railroads were responsible for the initial wave of European immigrants, mostly Poles, Scandinavians and Germans.
