Norwood Park is one of 77 Chicago Community Areas. It encompasses the smaller neighborhoods of Big Oaks, Norwood Park East, Norwood Park West, Old Norwood Park, Oriole Park, and Union Ridge.
Originally organized in 1872 from adjacent townships (Jefferson Township, Leyden Township and Niles Township) as a village, and named after Henry Ward Beecher's novel Norwood, or Village Life in New England, (1868), Norwood Park was annexed to Chicago in 1893.
