Lincoln Park did not have an auspicious beginning. In the 1860s, the city set aside 60 acres as Lake Park. It was renamed Lincoln Park in 1865 after Lincoln’s assassination. Up to that point, the land was being used as a city cemetery. People who died from cholera and Confederate prisoners from Camp Douglas were among the hundreds buried there.

As the neighborhood became more residential, there was increased pressure to remove the corpses, due to health concerns. There was a fear that the standing water in the graves flowed into nearby Lake Michigan and presented a health risk. The stench from the shallowly buried bodies in the cemetery wasn’t appealing to the new residents, either.

Thousands of bodies were disinterred and moved to other cemeteries, including Graceland and Oak Woods. But many bodies were left behind. One researcher estimates that thousands of bodies are still buried in Lincoln Park. Occasionally remains will be discovered during the course of new construction.

As the city grew north, Lincoln Park expanded to approximately 1,200 acres. It is now one of Chicago’s most heavily used parks, with 20 million visitors a year.
