Neighborhood Description The community area that is now known as Belmont Cragin is one that was built on commerce and industry. Slow to develop after the first settlers put down roots in the latter part of the 1800s, the abundance of wide-open spaces helped attract numerous manufacturing businesses to the region. The presence of these companies with large workforces prompted railroads to be built that would reach the area, and in turn, these new railroads helped spur residential growth in the surrounding neighborhoods. iMove Chicago is your complete resource for Chicago apartments, lofts, condos, and homes in Belmont Cragin.
