Ashland Avenue
Ashland Avenue Soundex Code A245
1600 W. from 7742 N. to 12259 S. This street is in Rogers Park from Juneway Terrace south to Schreiber -- ONLY
The street, formerly known as Reuben Street, was named in honor of the Kentucky estate of Henry Clay, which was surrounded by ash trees. It was named by either one of two Chicagoans from Kentucky. Ashland runs through land that was first developed by Henry Hamilton Honoré (Honore Street) and some credit him with naming the street. Others, however, claim that Samuel A. Walker, a Kentucky native who developed the land in the vicinity of Ashland and Garrison Street around 1864, named the street after the same estate.
The City Council passed a lengthy ordinance January 14, 1895, rationalizing the street naming system. According to the OLD street numbering system, the southernmost point in Rogers Park, was 4100 = 6701. This was due to the fact that Clark Street and Ashland Avenue ran together from south of Ridge to north of Devon. At the northern end, the highest number is 4539 = 7368. So, the legit old system numbers on Ashland in Rogers Park that need address conversions are 4100-4539.
