Once farmland, Bucktown was named for the male goat: Buck. In addition to area farmers, there were wealthy businessmen who originally settled in Wicker Park. These families built their homes bordering Wicker Park and along the streets between Evergreen and Pierce Avenue. Tree-lined Hoyne Avenue came to be known as “Beer Baron Row”, named for the stately and majestic stone mansions of German brewmasters. In 1870 Charles and Joel Wicker purchased 80 acres of land to build up the neighborhood and later donated four of these acres to the city for a park, known as Wicker Park.
