## History

### Pre-History (1905-1955)

Before the Parkway Garden Homes apartments were even built, the area was a racist amusement park named "White City" located in 63rd Street and South Park Avenue (now Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive) which opened in May 1905, at the time it was claimed to be the largest park of its type in the United States. While it was successful, it started going downhill after multiple fires occurred, with a huge fire occurring in September 1911, then another fire in July 1925, but the fire in June 1927 caused $200,000 in damages. The park officially closed in 1933 after the company that operated it could not pay the taxes that were due.

From 1950 to 1955, the Chicago Housing Authority officially started building a 35-building apartment complex named "Parkway Garden Homes" in the same area White City used to be.

### Gang History (1970-1999)

In the 1970s, street gangs started to form around Parkway Garden Homes where in the 1980s, gang and drug trafficking activity crime worsened. Street gangs around Parkway Gardens Homes include the Blue Fin Black Disciples, Gangster Disciples, Mickey Cobras, and allegedly Titanic Stones.

By the late 1980s, Parkway Gardens was mainly controlled by the Black Disciples and the Gangster Disciples which were united once under the Black Gangster Disciple Nation. In 1989, the Black Gangster Disciple Nation broke apart where from 1989 to 1991, the Black Disciples and Gangster Disciples in Parkway Gardens would go to war waging for the apartment complex, which by the late 1990s, it was mainly run by the Black Disciples.
