Chicago is a city comprised of many different neighborhoods. After the Chicago Fire, the city was re-built in a checkerboard or grid fashion. Later, the Chicago Park District divided the city in 77 official neighborhoods, each with its own name. Additionally, over time certain areas of the city became known by their own neighborhood name, creating "neighborhoods within neighborhoods". And sometimes the definition of these "neighborhoods within neighborhoods" will vary depending upon whom you talk to.
The boundaries of each neighborhood are defined by certain streets, and each street has a grid coordinate based upon a standard numbering system. Each street is assigned a grid coordinate as being north, south, east, or west of the "zero-zero" coordinate. The "zero-zero" coordinate is the intersection of State & Madison in Chicago’s "Loop" (central business district).
