Logan Square, Community area in northwest Chicago, United States.
Logan Square is a residential neighborhood in northwest Chicago where three wide boulevards converge to form a public space anchored by the Illinois Centennial Monument. Streets extend from this central point in all directions, connecting parks with commercial strips lined by low brick buildings.
The area took its name from General John A. Logan and grew from a small settlement established in the 1830s. Chicago incorporated the territory as an official neighborhood in 1889, prompting rapid construction along the newly laid boulevards.
Along Milwaukee Avenue, galleries and music venues draw neighborhood residents who support local artists on weekend evenings. Small restaurants with rotating menu boards attract diners seeking authentic dishes from different kitchens.
The CTA Blue Line stops at Logan Square station, linking residents directly to downtown and O'Hare Airport. Most shops and cafés along Milwaukee Avenue lie within a short walk from the square itself.
A farmers market runs on Sundays near Milwaukee Avenue and Logan Boulevard throughout summer, offering vegetables and handmade goods from nearby producers. Visitors also gather there for occasional performances by street musicians between the stalls.
