Bucktown Real Estate - Bucktown Community Information   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) By far, the most frequent question asked is the origin of the name “Bucktown.” Though not documented, it is believed the term was coined early in the area’s history, probably the 1830’s, since many of the Polish settlers raised goats (the male is called a buck). For the sake of harmony then, let us say that the Bucktown area is bounded roughly by Fullerton on the north, on the east by the Kennedy Expressway, the Milwaukee Road railroad tracks on the south, and on the west by Milwaukee Avenue to Western, and Western north to Fullerton. Bucktown's history predates the 1833 incorporation of Chicago as a town. www.chicagos-homes.com /info/bucktown_info.html   (666 words)

Bucktown Apple Pie Contest Outside of the Illinois State Fair in Springfield, where state fair judges lean toward pies baked by certain local downstate bakers and submitted minutes before the judging, this could be the most significant food judging since the Department of Agriculture started testing for mad cow disease. By the end of the fest, I found I had given out all but a couple dozen – over 400 entry forms -- and my email that night included requests for more from some of Bucktown’s finest restaurants so they too could show their apple pie prowess. I ran into the alderman, Ted Matlak, at the Bucktown Arts Fest and asked if he would be willing to serve as a judge. www.theweekbehind.com /articles/pies.html   (823 words)
