According to the 2010 census, Lincolnwood has a total area of 2.69 square miles (6.97km2), all land. The North Shore Channel lies on its eastern border.
History
The history of Lincolnwood is described by the Encyclopedia of Chicago as follows:
The agrarian population grew after the establishment of a Chicago & North Western Railway station in nearby Skokie in 1891 and the completion of the North Shore Channel in 1909, which made the easily flooded prairie land manageable. More saloons and taverns soon appeared, specifically along Crawford and Lincoln Avenues. Because only organized municipalities could grant liquor licenses, 359 residents incorporated in 1911 and named the village Tessville. Tessville annexed land throughout the 1920s, finally stretching to Central Avenue on the west and Kedzie Avenue on the east. During Prohibition, Tessville became a haven for speakeasies and gambling facilities.
Tessville was long reputed for drinking and gambling until the 1931 election of its longest-serving mayor, Henry A. Proesel, a grandson of George Proesel, one of the original American settlers. In 1932, Lincoln Avenue, formerly a plank toll road, became a state highway. Proesel then worked with the federal government's Public Works Administration and hired the community's entire unemployed workforce to plant 10,000 elm trees on the village streets. Most important, the community passed a liquor license law (1934) that limited the number of licenses allowable within the city limits and became a model ordinance for other communities. Proesel finally changed Tessville's image when he renamed the village Lincolnwood in 1936.
Lincolnwood's institutions, industries, and clubs continued to grow along with the suburb. The Bryn Mawr Country Club (1919), the East Prairie Welfare Club, later to become the Lincolnwood Woman's Club (1927), the Lincolnwood Afternoon Club (1953), American Legion Post #1226 (1952), and the Lincolnwood Jewish Congregation (1958) helped create a sense of community in the village. Lincolnwood School District 74 formed in 1938, and the Lincolnwood Public Library (1978) provided residents with quality education and offered much needed services. Bell & Howell's relocation to east Lincolnwood (1942) spurred growth and increased other industry relocation to the village.

Ce matin Paroles - Lennie Gallant et Ronald Bourgeois Musique - Lennie Gallant Ce matin, tu prends chagrin avec ton café Ce matin, tu ne vois pas plus loin que le papier Ce matin, ton signe te dit de ne rien commencer Mais ce matin, il faut décider Mais pour moi, notre destin nous a déjà liés Et je crois qu'un jour, ensemble, nous serons libérés Ce matin, ramassons tout ce qu'on s'est dit Ce matin, lançons-le en l'air comme un défi Ce matin, laissons le vent emporter nos folies Ce qui retombe, est-ce que ça suffit Mais pour moi, notre destin nous a déjà liés Et je crois qu'un jour, ensemble, nous serons libérés Surmonte ta peur et suis ton coeur Ce matin, notre destin nous est révélé Comme une carte sur un navire C'est à nous de se laisser guider On attendra le vent Qui suivra le soleil Qui donnera à nos âmes
Some seniors in Lincolnwood are sounding off about sidewalks – or lack of – in the north suburb, using scheduled in-person community survey encounters with village leaders and contractors to make their frustrations known.
Time stands still in so many ways for the venerable business celebrating its 75th anniversary on the northwest corner of Lincoln and Devon avenues in Lincolnwood, abutting the Chicago city line.
