Streeterville was named after George Wellington "Cap" Streeter.  In 1866, Streeter ran his schooner aground on a sandbar in Lake Michigan, near Michigan Avenue.  Streeter stayed there and turned it into his home after being unable to dislodge the vessel. Slowly, landfill turned the lake into land and Streeter laid claim to the land.
