Streeterville History

Streeterville HistoryOne of Chicago’s most interesting neighborhoods, Streeterville residents or prospective residents may find the naming of the ‘hood a bit of a fun fact. In 1886, a man named Captain George Wellington “Cap” Streeter who was a “jack-of-all-trades” type, purchased a boat, named it the Reutan, and sailed it on Lake Michigan during a horrible storm. Due to these weather conditions, Cap and his wife ended up on a sandbar approximately 450 feet east of Michigan Ave. Once the storm had passed, the couple decided to live on the sandbar, on their boat, instead of digging themselves out of the mess! While Chicago was still in the midst of the rebuilding, post-fire phase, Cap Streeter envisioned an opportunity that he stumbled upon. He informed some contractors that they could utilize his sandbar as a dump, for purposes of exposing of rubble and building ruins, in exchange for a small fee, and alas, the shoreline was eventually extended by 186 acres. Since government declared only the land up to the water’s edge as part of Chicago, Streeter capitalized on this and named his land the “District of Lake Michigan”. The opportunities seemed endless for Cap and he quickly began to sell off sections of the landfill, and eventually, a shantytown was formed.

Chicagoans were not happy about Cap’s operation and he was almost arrested multiple times by the police. Cap was fearless and determined to keep his land. Through witty and tricky antics he escaped the authorities time and time again. What eventually resulted in a court battle regarding the legal rights to the District of Lake Michigan ended suddenly when Wellington passed away from pneumonia in 1921. The city finally won the battle, and the land along the lakeshore became a rapidly growing Chicago neighborhood. The name, Streeterville, which is thus attributed to Cap, caught on and remains the name of this area which is now lined with luxury residences, tourist attractions, and commercial offices. The Streeterville Chicago neighborhood remains quite a contrast when compared to the landfill it once was in Cap’s day.
