Lincolnwood borders Chicago to the south and east, Skokie to the north, and Niles to the west. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Lincolnwood has a total land area of 2.69 square miles. Lincolnwood is divided or surrounded by 7 major streets and the Edens Expressway. While primarily a bedroom community, Lincolnwood does have a small industrial area, a number of small shopping districts along the main thoroughfares, and an enclosed mall of approximately 100 stores with two anchor stores. • Brief History: Potawatomi originally settled the wooded area that made up what is now Lincolnwood, but vacated the land after the Indian Boundary Treaty of 1816. Rural development proceeded slowly on treacherous plank roads along present-day Milwaukee and Lincoln Avenues. Johann Tess, for whom the village was originally named, and his family came from Germany in 1856, purchasing 30 acres of barren land in the area. Population slowly increased, and the first commercial establishment, the Halfway House Saloon, was established in 1873. The agrarian population grew after the establishment of a Chicago & North Western Railway station in nearby Skokie in 1891 and the completion of the North Shore Channel in 1909, which made the easily flooded prairie land manageable. More saloons and taverns soon appeared, specifically along Crawford and Lincoln Avenues. Because only organized municipalities could grant liquor licenses, 359 residents incorporated in 1911 and named the village Tessville. Tessville annexed land throughout the 1920s, finally stretching to Central Avenue on the west and Kedzie Avenue on the east. During Prohibition, Tessville became a haven for speakeasies and gambling facilities. Tessville was long reputed for drinking and gambling until the 1931 election of its longest-serving mayor, Henry A. Proesel, a grandson of George Proesel, one of the original American settlers. In 1932, Lincoln Avenue, formerly a plank toll road, became a state highway. Proesel then worked with the federal government’s Public Works Administration and hired the community’s entire

EpicenterLat/Long: 41.6N 88.1WAn Epicenter Map is derived from a databaseof historical earthquakes developed from threesources (Composite Earthquake Catalog,2002, Earthquake Data Base, 2002, andEarthquake Seismicity Catalog, 1996). Thedatabase has been sorted to remove historicalearthquakes with magnitudes less than 5.0.The Epicenter Map is based on a historicalearthquake epicenter, selected from thedatabase.

Soil classification data provided by the IllinoisState Geological Society.The procedures outlined in the NEHRPprovisions (Building Seismic Safety Council,2004) and the 2003 International BuildingCodes (International Code Council, 2002)were followed to produce the soil site classmaps. Central U.S. Earthquake Consortium(CUSEC) State Geologists used the entirecolumn of soil material down to bedrock anddid not include any bedrock in the calculationof the average shear wave velocity for thecolumn, since it is the soil column and thedifference in shear wave velocity of the soils incomparison to the bedrock which influencesmuch of the amplification.

Liquefaction data provided by the Illinois StateGeological Society. Liquefaction data basedon the Youd and Perkins (1978) method.A liquefaction susceptibility map provides anestimate of the likelihood that soil will liquefyas a result of earthquake shaking. This type ofmap depicts the relative susceptibility in arange that varies from very low to high. Areasunderlain by bedrock or peat are mappedseparately as these earth materials are notliquefiable, although peat deposits may besubject to permanent ground deformationcaused by earthquake shaking.

100-Year Modeled Tornado Event (F4)
500-Year Modeled Tornado Event (F5)
The 100- and 500-year events have beenmodeled based on fifty-nine years of tornadodata for Cook County. The wind speeds,widths, lengths, and direction for each eventwere developed using existing historicaltornado data. The simulated storms and theircorresponding losses within this jurisdictionwere used to determine the 100- and 500-yeareconomic loss event.
