About River North

River North is an area of roughly 80 square blocks in Chicago’s 42nd Ward, just north of the city’s business and financial center and west of the upscale shopping and entertainment district along Michigan Avenue known as the “magnificient mile”.

In the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, most of the area between the river and the lake was destroyed. The next 2 decades were spent rebuilding and these efforts culminated in the Columbian Exposition of 1893. Through the first half of the 20th century, River North was a busy but grimy industrial district once known as “Smokey Hollow”. After World War II, manufacturing declined and factories closed or were converted into warehouses. By the mid-1970’s, much of the area had become an urban wasteland with many neglected or abandoned buildings.

Then in the late 1980’s, the revival began. Low real estate prices and large spaces attracted artists and entrepreneurs. Beautiful old timber and masonry buildings were rehabbed into galleries, studios, offices, apartments and retail stores. Attorneys, architects, ad agencies and design firms moved in, followed by hotels, restaurants and clubs. Today, River North has the highest concentration of restaurants and entertainment venues in the city.
