Pulaski Road is a major north-south thoroughfare in the city of Chicago, at 4000 W., or exactly five miles west of State Street. It is named after revolutionary war hero Casimir Pulaski. It still retains its former name, Crawford Avenue, in the north suburbs of Lincolnwood, Skokie, Evanston and Wilmette, north of Devon Avenue (6400 N) and south from the Chicago City Limits to Lincoln Highway US-30. Prior to 1913, Pulaski Road was known as 40th Avenue. That name lasted until 1935 when, over local opposition and a legal battle all the way to the Illinois Supreme Court, it was named after Pulaski. Among the many Polish city leaders who worked to achieve "Pulaski Rd." was Emilia Napieralska, then president of the Polish Women's Alliance of America in Chicago. ==Chicago neighborhoods and suburbs== From north to south: *Wilmette (Suburb) *Evanston (Suburb) *Skokie (Suburb) *Lincolnwood (Suburb) *Forest Glen (City of Chicago) *North Park (City of Chicago) *Albany Park (City of Chicago) *Irving Park (City of Chicago) *Avondale (City of Chicago) *Logan Square (City of Chicago) *Hermosa (City of Chicago) *Humboldt Park (City of Chicago) *West Garfield Park (City of Chicago) *North Lawndale (City of Chicago) *South Lawndale (City of Chicago) *Archer Heights (City of Chicago) *West Elsdon (City of Chicago) *West Lawn (City of Chicago) *Ashburn (City of Chicago) *Evergreen Park (Suburb) *Oak Lawn (Suburb) *Mount Greenwood (City of Chicago) *Alsip (Suburb) *Robbins (Suburb) *Crestwood (Suburb) *Midlothian (Suburb) *Markham (Suburb) *Country Club Hills (Suburb) *Olympia Fields (Suburb) *Matteson (Suburb) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pulaski Road (Chicago)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
