# List of Chicago alderpersons since 1923

The Chicago City Council assumed its modern form on April 16, 1923, with fifty wards each electing one alderperson. Here is a list of the people who have served as an alderperson since that time.
Since its incorporation as a city in 1837 Chicago had been divided into wards whose number varied but which were almost always entitled to two alderpersons. In the early 20th century it was decided that reducing the number of alderpersons to a ward to one would be a cost-saving measure, and an ordinance to that effect was passed in 1920, taking effect in 1923.
City council elections in Chicago have been formally nonpartisan since 1920. Nevertheless, many alderpersons have had, and continue to have, de facto partisan affiliations that are reflected in this list.
This list is organized by which side of the Chicago River the wards were on as of 1923. Numbering the wards such that those on the South Side received the first numbers, followed by in order the West and North sides was a tradition that had dated to the City's founding and division into wards in 1837. Incumbent alderpersons who started a new term in 1923 are reckoned as having started their term in 1923 regardless of whenever they actually started holding office, which is noted in the "Notes" column.

## History

Chicago was incorporated in 1837 and initially comprised six wards.
