Ukrainian Village in Chicago

The Ukrainian Village in Chicago is one of the neighborhoods in the West Town Community Area. Mayor Jane Byrne designated Ukrainian Village an official neighbor-hood on January 18, 1983 (the first such designation in the city’s history). While in the midst of metropolitan hustle and bustle, the Ukrainian Village differentiates itself from the rest of the Chicago neighborhoods because of its quiet tree-lined streets and welcom-ing nature of its residents.

This established Chicago community is home to nearly 100,000 Ukrainian – Americans, and a number of other ethnic groups, as well as museums, shops, schools and numerous churches. It is known for its architectural splendor, historic landmarks, and cultural events held throughout the year.
