Pullman: How one of Chicago's Community Areas Got It's Name and Identity
5 months ago

Pullman is one of the 77 Community Areas of Chicago but a hundred years ago it was its own utopian (or dystopian, depending on how you want to look at it) city. It was founded by George Pullman who bought the land for his Luxury Train Car company, which was a big deal at the time.
George Pullman wanted to elevate his workers by having them live nearby in nice housing. Alcohol was forbidden in Pullman, which is probably why a lot of people still worked in the Union Stockyards.
It was annexed into the city of Chicago in 1889 and has become a dangerous neighborhood since.
Chicago Bob visited Pullman and had creepy "Children of the Corn" vibes about it.
