Clark Street (Chicago)

Chicago's Clark Street is a north-south street in Chicago running from 7600 North to 2200 South in the city street numbering system. It is occasionally a diagonal, and occasionally a north-south street running near the shore of Lake Michigan from the city limits with Evanston (where it is called Chicago Avenue, and further north, Green Bay Road) south to Cermak Road. Even as a diagonal it runs more north than northwest. At its northern end it is at 1800 West and from North Avenue down to Cermak it is 100 West. Originally an Indian trail, it ran all the way to Green Bay, Wisconsin. It is named for George Rogers Clark, a Revolutionary War hero who captured much of the Northwest Territory from the British and the elder brother of William Clark.
