HISTORY OF HYDE PARK.

BOUNDARIES AND EXTENT .- The act of incorpora- tion, approved February 20, 1861, separated the town of Hyde Park from the town of Lake, and made the town of Hyde Park to comprise : all of fractional Sec- tions 2, 11, 12, 13, 24; the east half of Sections 3, 10, 15, 22, 27, 34; all of Sections 14, 23, 25, 26, 35, 36, in Township . 38 north, Range 14 east ; also fractional Sections, 19, 29, 30. 32 and Section 31, all in Town- ship 38 north, Range 15 east; any of the territory "herein described " that heretofore formed part of the town of Lake, forms no part thereof by this act, etc. 'This territory was the district bounded by Thirty- ninth Street on the north; by Grand Boulevard, or South Park Avenue, on the west; by Lake Michigan on the east, and by Eighty-seventh Street on the south. Under the amenced charter of March 5, 1867, the town of Hyde Park embraced all that part of Township 38 north, Range 14 east, lying east of the west line of Sections 3. 10, 15, 22, 27, 34; all of Township 38 north, Range 15 east ; also all that part of Township 37 north, Range 14 east, lying east of the west line of Sections 3, 10, 15, 22, 27, 34 ; also all of Township 37 north, Range 15 east. This made the eastern bound- ary Lake Michigan and the State line of Indiana; the northern, Thirty - ninth Street; the southern, One Hundred and Thirty-eighth Street, and the Indian boundary line; the western, State Street and the west line of Sections 27 and 34. This act was, however, repealed March 26, 186g, but a new act of the same date specified the same boundaries. By an ordinance of the village of Hyde Park, approved June 1, 1874, the following territory was annexed to the village : Com- mencing at the intersection of the Indian boundary line with the west line of Section 27, south of the Indian boundary line, thence running southwesterly along and binding by said Indian boundary line, to its inter- section with the west line of said Section 27, north of the Indian boundary line ; thence south to the center of said Calumet River, thence easterly and southerly along and binding by the center of said Calumet River lo its intersection with the north line of Section 33, in said township; thence easterly on said north line of said Section 33, to its intersection with the east line of the Illinois Central Railroad Company's right of way to the center of the Calumet River; thence easterly along, and binding by said center line of said Calumet River, to the west line of Section 34, in said Township 37; and thence north along said west line of Section 34, and the aforesaid west line of Section 27, south of the Indian boundary line to the place of beginning : all in Township 37 north, Range 14 east. This made the village of Hyde Park include all that territory bounded by Thirty- ninth Street on the north Lake Michigan and the Indiana State line on the east; State Street to the Calumet River, then the Calumet to the center line of One Hundred and Thirtieth Street extended, then the eastern line of the Illinois Central Railroad Company's right of way to the Calumet River,

then Indiana Avenue to One Hundred and Thirty- eigth Street ; and One Hundred and Thirty-eighth Street, and the Calumet River, from Indiana Avenue to the Illinois Central Railroad bridge on the south.

GOVERNMENT .- The government of Hyde Park was at first merged in that of the town of Lake, and a joint commission was the regnant power. But upon February 20, 1861, the town of Hyde Park was incor- porated by act of the Legislature, and on April 2, 1861, the first town meeting was held at the railroad siation of the Illinois Central Railroad, known as Hyde Park station, which then stood east of the track, and about on the north line of Fifty-third Street, for the purpose of electing officers. Of this meeting Eras- tus S. Williams was elected chairman pro tem .; War- ren S. Bogue was chosen moderator, and Abraham Bockee was chosen clerk pro lem .; to Bogue and Bockee the oaths were administered by Henry Brooks, a notary public, and the clerk proclaimed the ballots open. Levi Blackwell was chosen Overseer of High- ways. and it was resolved that there be but one Pound in the town, and that situated at Woodlawn, as near the railroad station as practicable.
